Hemp: The Miracle Plant | Hemp is the industrial, medicinal, nutritional form of Cannabis Sativa, which is the same plant species as marijuana. Hemp’s main difference from marijuana lies in the level of THC (TetraHydroCannabinol), the chemical that triggers marijuana’s psychoactive effects. Hemp has almost no THC. Agriculture: Human beings have been making use of hemp since the beginnings of human civilization. Hemp has been cultivated and used by humans for over 10,000 years. Hemp is the most eco-friendly agricultural crop. Textiles: For most of early human history, hemp was the predominant textile; and, the oldest surviving relic of human produced material is a piece of hemp cloth dated at over 8,000 years old. For almost 3,000 years, both the sails and the rigging on all sailing vessels in all cultures were made from hemp. Hemp textiles are the best eco-friendly choice. Paper: The first paper ever used was made from hemp. Benjamin Franklin started the first hemp paper mill. Nutrition: Like this: Like Loading...
