Industrial Hemp

Hemp is a distinct variety of the plant species cannabis sativa L. that contains minimal (less than 1%) amounts of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the primary psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. It is a tall, slender, fibrous plant similar to flax or kenaf. Various parts of the plant can be utilized in the making of textiles, paper, paints, clothing, plastics, cosmetics, foodstuffs, insulation, animal feed and other products.

It has only been effectively prohibited in the United States since the 1950s, mostly because large corporate interests did not want any competition to interfere with their profits so fought to get it banned.

Medical Marijuana

Historical evidence suggests that marijuana has been used as a treatment almost as long as human civilization has existed. Over 3000 years ago, Egyptians used it treat sore eyes.

Despite the ongoing political debate regarding the legality of medical marijuana, clinical investigations of the therapeutic use of cannabinoids are now more prevalent than at any time in history.
