Odds are, you've zipped your shopping cart past plenty of hemp products hiding in plain sight.
We're not just talking about the obvious places like natural food markets and nutritional supplement stores.
Think bigger. As in, retail giants.
You may have strolled down the towering aisles of Home Depot and passed hemp linen arm chairs, bedding, rugs and carpets. Ora hemp rope clock.
The Kroger grocery chain also offers several hemp products, including hemp milk, hemp heart seeds, soaps and other products without the psycho-active ingredient THC. They even have hemp beer.
Walmart stores have dozens of hemp products, including bronzing moisturizer, colorful cords, a moisturizing oil for curly hair and crunchy Kashi GoLean peanut butter hemp bars.
Walgreens drug stores' hemp products include a jewelry making kit.
And in the southeast corner of Louisville Slugger Field, Against The Grain Brewery & Smokehouse offers locally brewed "Knot Beer," which its website describes as a pale ale with an earthy edge ... "a beer with a story."

Many people may have been surprised when hemp seed products debuted at last year's Kentucky State Fair.
Alongside funnel cake and corn dog vendors, the Kentucky Cattlemen's Association introduced Hemp Dawgs. A dash of hemp seed oil added a roasted nut flavor to traditional bratwursts and a sprinkling of crushed hemp hearts added bite to quarter-pound bratwurst.
It's not much of a surprise to find hemp at Rainbow Blossom. The natural food stores in Kentuckiana have several types of CBD (cannabidiol) hemp oils, rubs and pills with negligible amounts of THC. They also sell "superfood" hemp seed products like dark chocolate hemp bark and bourbon peach jams.
