Hemp is among the oldest industries on the planet, going back more than 10,000 years to the beginnings of pottery. Presidents Washington and Jefferson both grew hemp. Americans were legally bound to grow it during the Colonial Era and Early Republic. The federal government subsidized hemp during the Second World War and US farmers grew about a million acres.
Hemp Seed is far more nutritious than even soybean, contains more essential fatty acids than any other source, is second only to soybeans in complete protein (but is more digestible by humans), is high in B-vitamins, and is 35% dietary fiber. The seed does not contain THC.
Hemp stalk contains no THC. The fiber is longer, stronger, more absorbent and more insulative than cotton fiber.
Hemp grows well without herbicides, fungicides, or pesticides. Almost half of the agricultural chemicals used on US crops are applied to cotton.
Hemp produces more pulp per acre than timber on a sustainable basis, and can be used for every quality of paper. Hemp paper manufacturing can reduce wastewater contamination.
Hemp fiber paper resists decomposition, and does not yellow with age when an acid-free process is used. Hemp paper more than 1,500 years old has been found. It can also be recycled more times.
The industry is growing due to the amazing products being developed such as healthy hemp foods, hemp lip balm (no petroleum), soaps, shampoos, sun care, and even female personal lubricants. New tree free paper is being produced along with notebooks and stationary. Hemp clothing is becoming softer by the day while offering a choice in organic fibers and providing benefits over cotton.
