Cannabis Hemp
Cannabis hemp (agricultural/industrial hemp) is a hardy, high-yield-per-acre rotation crop that produces famously nutritious seeds, valuable oils, and superior fiber for paper, building materials, cordage and cloth—without lots of water or heavy use of farm chemicals.

Hemp foods are the fastest growing segment of the natural foods market, probably because hemp seeds contain all essential amino acids (protein), and the oil contains the highest and most balanced levels of essential fatty acids (EFAs) omega-3 and omega-6 of any seed oil.  Hemp is also a rare plant source of the “super omega-6” EFA; gamma-linolenic acid (GLA).

Hemp is not marijuana!  Both are cannabis sativa, but hemp strains have onlytrace amounts of the psychoactive/medicinal ingredient THC.

The United States is the last industrialized nation to outlaw hemp cultivation!  Here we are in the middle of a long recession, and US farmers are being forced to sit on the sidelines of a major opportunity while China, Canada, Romania and others reap the benefits of the rising global demand for hemp food and fiber. Restoring our right to cultivate hemp plays to our traditional strengths as a nation; exploring new territory, ingenuity, and pushing back against authoritarian rulers—in this case, shockingly uninformed prohibitionists clinging to zero-tolerance cannabis policies that are SO last century.
