Update: February 4th, 2020 to include separate pages for each business entity. Corrected HD Distribution ownership.
The goal of this article is to dissect the many titles of the leading “authority” in Hemp, according to themselves.
This was an exhausting search for who owns what brand, or business(es) that claim to certify, or authorize Hemp products made by the same participants in the authorization or certification process.
We first looked at the U.S. Hemp Authority, and their web presence, which is where most patients or customers go for information. Usually, the companies information, and “about us” section are at the bottom of the web page on business sites.
Off of the bat, the first hit that makes a base is that we notice that the website states that the sponsors for the U.S. Hemp Authority are:
An interesting connection between these two companies is that, “Where Food Comes From” actually owns “Validus.” This type of listing of sibling subsidiaries is a common tactic for both the Agriculture industry oriented businesses, as well as their cannabis industry partners.

WE have hops (humulus genus) Beer on one side, and cannabis genus on the other, Cannabacae being the family.

A very overlooked nexus between these two spirit producers is Bayer, owner of Monsanto maker of Round UP. – Wait! Why Bayer?
“Most of us take it for granted that the food and drinks we buy from the store are not putting our health at risk.
However, new research from public health groups and scientists from the past several years indicates that food and drinks are contaminated with glyphosate, the main ingredient in the weed killer Roundup. This is a potential health problem because in 2015 the World Health Organization found that glyphosate is a probable carcinogen, and in 2017, the state of California agreed.
Hops, grapes and grains producers as well as cattle ranchers are using the herbicide, in an seemingly unregulated industry. Because, well Monsanto and all of the other seed companies in modern agriculture have lobbied their way into ownership of your body.
Lets say hops, grapes, and grains growers, like cannabis growers are faced with the agriculture industry as we know it.
What if Bayer says to the people listed above, (who are supposed to be in an “overwatch for our health”), instead of suing us over the chemicals found in your spirits, and meats, what if we split the cannabis industry, since we already own Washington D.C.?
Worse case scenario, Bayer is knowingly poisoning the global populations through the “non-psychoactive” effects of Cannabacae family as well as grapes and grains, which is in turn a majority of global beer, wine, and alcohol as well as meat consumption world wide.
This would allow for the poultry industry model for cannabis production, where we will only be allowed to grow certified seeds, GMO’d by Monsanto in the 70’s, and sell the plants back to the genetics owners for processing, namely all of the shell corporations listed above.
Now that Phylos has brought on Monsantos head of breeding programs and marketing, there is a fox in the hen house folks.
