Did you know? The Hemp Farming Act of 2018 (now included in the 2018 Farm Bill), will legalize hemp at the federal level, effectively excluding industrial cannabis from the list of Controlled Substances. With the signing of the Illinois hemp bill, there are opportunities around the cultivation, distribution, and processing of hemp - a cannabis variety with close to zero THC, or the intoxicating compound found in cannabis plants. Chicago Cannabis Company is currently seeking partners to join our Cooperative Cannabis Company.

Chicago Cannabis Company is seeking funding to purchase supercritical CO2 extraction equipment and establish its own cannabis processing facility. Using CO2 extraction is a pure, safe, and clean way to extract cannabis plant oils and CBD. The Chicago Cannabis Company Hemp Lab will allow for commercial level production of hemp-derived CBD, offering cost savings to our customers. Our goal is to provide extraction and distribution services for industrial cannabis and CBD-infused products.

Chicago Cannabis Company is looking to outfit a warehouse space on the South or West Side of Chicago to house the Hemp Lab and Hemp Cultivator, should industrial cannabis become legal via the 2018 Farm Bill or the Illinois Industrial Hemp Act. The facility will include an educational component, offering free tours to community members and other visitors, as a way to educate the broader society on the benefits and many uses of industrial cannabis.
