Hemp, the best cordage of varying tensile strength

Hemp is the common name for plants of the genus Cannabis, although the term is often used to refer only to Cannabis strains cultivated for industrial use. Licenses for hemp cultivation are issued in the European Union and Canada. In the United Kingdom, these licenses are issued by the Home Office under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. Hemp is often called industrial hemp, and a common product is fiber for use in a wide variety of products. Feral hemp or ditch weed is usually a naturalized fiber or oilseed strain of Cannabis that have escaped from cultivation and are self-seeding.

Cannabis L. sativa is the variety grown for industrial use in Europe, Canada, and elsewhere, while C. sativa indica generally has poor fiber quality and is primarily used for production of medicinal drugs.

The Hemp Guide

Hemp (jap. asa or taima) is the common English (Japanese) name for the plant that is botanically known as cannabis sativa L. Cannabis is one of the first plants cultivated by man and one of the most versatile. It can supply us with fibre for clothes and paper from its stem, oil for food and fuel from its seeds and medicine from its flowers. It provides us with one of the safest medicinal, recreational and spiritual drugs known to man, arguably less harmful than alcohol or cigarettes or many over-the-counter or prescription drugs.

Some strains of the cannabis plant contain between 2 and 20% of a substance called THC which has euphoriant and medicinal properties. THC-rich cannabis hemp is also known as Indian hemp and is used in two primary forms: As dried leaves and flowers ("marijuana") or as compressed resin and other plant material ("hashish"). It is either inhaled or eaten. In China and Egypt cannabis has been used as a medicine for at least 5000 years and it is probably one of the most thorougly researched drugs in the world. There has never been even one death from a cannabis overdose or from an allergic reaction to the drug. Drug abuse experts rate it about as addictive as coffee.

The Hemp Guide

Hemp is also one of oldest and one the most important fibre and oilseed plants. Until the Industrial Revolution it provided most of the textiles worn in Europe, America and Japan, as well as most of the paper. Hemp seed oil burnt in lamps before petroleum came in use. The world's finest paintings are painted on hemp linen with hemp oil.

Industrial hemp is legal to grow in 29 countries worldwide (including europe) and is explicitly exempt from international drug treaties, under which it need not be subject to stricter regulations than spinach or tomatoes. Growing hemp for horticultural purposes is also exempt. Usually varieties of cannabis grown for fibre and seed are low in THC (< 1% THC) but high in CBD which counteracts the effects of THC, making these plants completely unusable as a recreational drug, even if their THC content was as high as 1%.

Hemp Fiber Products 

Hemp Fibers

Hemp is used for a wide variety of purposes, including the manufacture of cordage of varying tensile strength, clothing, and nutritional products. The bast fibers are commonly used in 100% hemp products, but are also blended with fabrics such as linen, cotton or silk, for apparel and furnishings. The inner two fibers of hemp are more woody, and are more often used in non-woven items and other industrial applications, such as mulch, animal bedding and litter. The oil from the fruits ("seeds") dries on exposure to air (similar to linseed oil) and is sometimes used in the manufacture of oil-based paints, in creams as a moisturising agent, for cooking, and in plastics. Hemp seeds are often added to wild bird seed mix. In Europe and China, hemp fibers are increasingly used to strengthen cement, and in other composite materials for many construction and manufacturing applications. Mercedes-Benz uses a "biocomposite" composed principally of hemp fiber for the manufacture of interior panels in some of its automobiles.
