For those of you who are unaware about what hemp is, here’s a brief but concise explanation via Urban Dictionary:

Derivative of the plant Cannabis containing a very small amount of Delta-9 THC (the active incredient of Marijuana). It can be used for many things, including being woven into jewelry, sails, paper, clothing, rope, and more. A potential substitute for fossil fuels that is renewable. Is grown quickly and takes few chemicals to grow or turn into paper, so it is a far better source for paper than trees. Also, the seeds contain more protein than any other natural non-meat food. Basically, an all purpose plant that is illegal because the US government is racist.

If that’s not a good enough source for you, you could always check out wikipedia but it basically says the same thing in more sentences.

Here is a video of a representative from Hemp Oil Canada talking about all the many uses for hemp.

A lot of those uses sounds great and like they would save us money in the long run. Oh wait, hemp is still illegal too.  Thanks America!
