Aside from being a superfood (hemp oil has the perfect ratio of Omega 3s & amp; Omega 5s for optimal absorption by our bodies!), It can also be used to make or replace so much of what we use in daily life, too. Most people know that the hemp fiber was used to make rope during WWII, but what a lot of people don’t know is that it was also used to make biofuel for the B-52 bombers. Petroleum-based fuels would congeal in the engines when the planes flew at high altitudes due to the temperatures, but hemp-based biofuel requires a lower temperature to freeze, so it was the perfect solution.

Hemp, Cannabis sativa L, is grown for industrial use. It’s a cousin plant of marijuana, but it contains a far lower concentration of THC, which is the primary psychoactive element of marijuana. Hemp is known as the most durable fiber in the world, and it is known to have over 50,000 different uses. Evidence of its use recorded throughout history, many believe that hemp was the first crop ever cultivated by humankind.

Hemp is a plant with so many uses. It is such a versatile plant that has a lot of health benefits. Hemp can be used in food, as an oil, and as fiber, for example, to make rope and other fibrous material. Hemp is even used in beauty products such as hand creams and moisturizers. It also smells wonderful.

Hemp is a miracle plant! It has so many great uses. Historically, it was made to make paper and clothing/bags. Nowadays it’s used in everything from lotions to medicines! It’s still used in paper and clothes, too.

There are plants that you expect more of them than just being a simple plant, and Hemp is one of them. As a variety of Cannabis sativa L., it is categorized into male and female plants. Cannabis sativa, an annual (compared to biennial and perennial plants) plant indigenous to eastern parts of Asia, and now internationally distributed for its popularity and widespread plantation. It’s been used in industries, as seed oil, a delicious food. It has a long history of usage in medicine and religious and spiritual ceremonies. Although Hemp and Marijuana are both of Cannabis family, their growth forms, chemical composition, and most importantly, their usages are quite different. Let’s say, compared to marijuana. Hemp is more secure to use regarding intoxicating compounds. The difference between these two varieties of Cannabis has led to differences in the type of use, legislation, and method of dealing with this plant.

Hemp, or Cannabis sativa L, is the more industrious counterpart to what it is commonly referred to as marijuana. Hemp is differentiated by its anatomical and chemical makeup, uses, and resourcefulness in producing oils, building materials, clothing, and even paper.

Hemp is a magical plant that has incredibly about of different uses. Unfortunately, it was banned in the US for a long time due to its association with marijuana but is finally making a comeback. I’d highly recommend watching a quick documentary or something on the history of hemp as it’s incredibly interesting to learn about.
