Hemp researcher believes it makes you live longer
A Saskatchewan hemp farmer believes the plant has rare properties that can dramatically increase the lifespan of humans. “It’s one of the superfoods supplying a cornucopia of oils, proteins, fiber and phytonutrients,” says Morris Johnson, chief technical officer of Canada’s Lifespan Pharma. “When hemp became a legal crop to grow in Canada, I researched the chemistry and found that unique compounds found in hemp fit the niche of anti-aging compounds.” He plans to work with the University of Saskatchewan’s “Research Group on Aging” to design a study, and he’ll also fund product-specific trials for hemp in the U.S.
