Miles Filippelli

– Fermented Plant Extracts, Hotchkiss, CO

~ Simple Cannabis Medicine Making ~

Miles will instruct on the production of vital and powerful cannabis medicine in the home using kitchen implements and typical food products. This process is easy and approachable, no special equipment or ingredients are needed other than cannabis (which is very, very special). Miles spent years learning and developing different techniques for cannabis extraction and concentration in addition to cultivation and breeding. The medicine he teaches how to make is versatile and can be used internally or topically.

– 3Canyons Permaculture Farm, Pagosa Springs, CO

~ Medicinal Properties of Hops ~

The hop plant, Humulus lupus, is a part of the Cannabaceae hemp family, making it a cousin to Cannabis. It possesses similar terpenes responsible for its all-too-familiar skunky aroma, yet most varieties of hops have low to no trace amounts of THC or CBD. The plant is high in various oils and waxes, including flavor-imparting oleoresin, caryophyllene, humulones, and lupulones. Studies show that hops possess a variety of antioxidants and polyphenols that provide wellness benefits and hops are found to reduce anxiety, induce slumber, reduce inflammation, possibly lower cholesterol, remove dandruff, boost hair growth and shine, and nourish the skin.
