What is Hemp?

Hemp is a “Billion Dollar Crop.”  These words were professed in the February, 1938 issue of Popular Mechanics (see article).  Hemp, more than ever, is a plant that has the ability to sustain life on this planet.  With all 10 essential amino acids and a well balanced ratio of omega fatty acids, hemp is a vital super-food that is now contributing to the awakening of humanity and the healing of the nations.

Hemp is generally referred to as the industrial, non-psychoactive variety of Cannabis sativa L. used for a multitude of products. Marijuana on the other hand, is referred to as the medicinal variety of Cannabis which people ingest for the psychoactive benefits.

Hemp grows to lengths of 10-16 feet. It’s grown for its fiber and seed production. It can be used to make over 25,000 different products, including textiles, paper, paint, particle board, plastics, cordage, and food.

Hemp has been an integral aspect of humanities’ story even 10,000 years ago. Over 25 industrialized countries around the world allow its farmers to grow this beneficial crop. Fortunately, goods made from hemp are completely legal to import and sell in the U.S.

With the help from all the intelligent statesmen, lawyers, agricultural commissioners, teachers, mothers, fathers, "We the People of the United States" will enjoy the value-added benefits of farming and manufacturing hemp here in the U.S.. it just makes sense - it makes cents too.
 The old paradigm was that hemp was bad, or marijuana, or cannabis.
However, we are here to share with the world every reason why Hemp is Good.
