More About Hemp
What is Hemp?
Hemp
Definition:
hemp [n] - a rope that is used by a hangman to execute persons who have been condemned to death by hanging
hemp [n] - any plant of the genus Cannabis; a coarse bushy annual with palmate leaves and clusters of small green flowers; yields tough fibers and narcotic drugs
Hemp - common name for a tall annual herb (Cannabis sativa) native to Asia but now widespread because of its formerly large-scale cultivation for the bast fiber (also called hemp) and for other good things it yields. Known and cultivated in ancient China, the plant was introduced into Europe before the Christian era. In the United States hemp was cultivated chiefly in the Midwest. The fiber, retted from the stem, was one of the most important for various kinds of cordage; it was also used in making paper, cloth (canvas and other kinds), oakum for calking ships, and other products. The male and female flowers are borne on separate plants. The chemical derived from the female flowering tops is used medicinally and is the source of marijuana and hashish. Hemp seed is used as bird food, and the oil from the seeds is used in the manufacture of paints, varnishes, and soap. The dried hemp leaves are used in Asia for a beverage. The true hemp plant is related to the hop, which is used in making beer.
The Hemp Industries Association (HIA) is at the forefront of the drive for fair and equal treatment of Industrial Hemp and the instigation of a level playing field on which to compete with other natural resources and synthetics. The HIA seeks changes in government policies to encourage global production of Hemp as a raw material for industry.
VOTE HEMP is a non-profit organization dedicated to the acceptance of and free market for Industrial Hemp. Industrial Hemp is non-psychoactive low THC varieties of the cannabis sativa plant. Currently, it is illegal for U.S. farmers to grow Industrial Hemp because it is improperly classified as a "drug" under the Controlled Substances Act. Since changes in law require shifts in thinking and this requires education in the facts, our primary goal is the education of legislators and regulators, farmers and businesses, students and other concerned citizens.
Hemp.com became involved with industrial hemp for a variety of reasons and we all agree that the time has come for everyone to be aware of the incredible resource that we are presently wasting in the United States. Hemp is part of the solution to many of the problems that are facing the modern world: deforestation, acid rain, the green house effect, erosion, pollutants, starvation, limited fossil fuels. Hemp production could even provide jobs and increased revenues to our rural areas.
