 long as we educate the average person as to what hemp actually is, then we have a chance of growing more of it and selling more of it, because if we don’t tell people what hemp is, they’re still going to be in the dark about it. They’re still going to have a stigma around it. And it won’t quite work. But if we got the education, and we’ve got the product development, we’ve got good luck, we’ve got good investment, limitless. Potentially, even bigger than digital.

TG Branfalt: You’re a heck of an advocate for hemp. When I met you in Burlington, from head to toe, you were in hemp clothing. I’ve got to ask you. What’s your prized hemp possession?

Ezra Soiferman: Wow. I have all sorts of hemp stuff in my place because I’m a collector of this too. I have boxes filled with samples of different hemp things that I will bring to a lecture, or go through and organize. Sometimes I’ll show stuff online from the collection. My wardrobe is all hemp. I’ve got jackets and hats, shoes and bags, hand creams and lotions. To pick my favorite one thing, one thing that comes to mind that’s top of mind, pardon the pun, is a yarmulke, a kippah, a Jewish ceremonial head covering that I wore at my wedding that I had custom made, custom made by this dude, who was a third generation hat maker. And I photographed the process.

And I got him the fabric from Enviro Textiles in Colorado, from those guys who are geniuses of hemp fabric, Summer and Barbara Filippone. I got him the fabric. It’s this chocolate brown herringbone material. And he made this beautiful design for a kippah. And I wore it at my wedding, and gave these hemp kippahs out to all the people who were at the wedding too. And to this day, the kippah’s right on the shelf near me. I’m feeling it now as I’m talking. It’s in perfect condition, and I’ve worn it to many funerals and bar mitzvahs and weddings. It actually fared a lot better than my marriage did. Hey, that’s life, and I’m still on very good
