Industrial hemp is an amazing plant

Hemp is grown for the fiber for clothing and seeds for oil (both for health and for fuel). With a relatively short growth cycle of 100-120 days, it is an efficient and economical crop for farmers to grow, however, industrial hemp cannot be commercially grown in the United States because it is erroneously confused with marijuana. In fact, industrial hemp and marijuana are different breeds of Cannabis sativa.
Hemp is a hardy plant, requiring little or no pesticides or herbicides to thrive.Botanically, hemp is classified as Cannabis sativa L. (Cannabaceae). Cannabis is a diverse plant species including more than 500 different varieties. The oil seed varieties most commonly grown for food can grow up to 10-15 feet tall within 90-120 days.
Hemp is a profitable and can be a "dual-income" crop for farmers, as both seeds and fiber can be processed into thousands of uses. The oilseed and fiber varieties of hemp can be used for the production of fabrics, rope, paper, food, health and beauty aids, printing inks, paint, and building materials. Hemp also has a greater value as a potential source of renewable energy, and as a raw material for biodiesel and ethanol. The hemp building materials excel at carbon sequestration helping slow climate change.
