Hemp is one of the eldest useful plants on earth. The Chinese are
cultivating hemp for more than 10'000 years. The hemp plant is
relatively easy to grow, doesn't need any pesticide, furthermore,
it is an ameliorant.
Hemp on the fields, save the woods.
Refering to an equal area, the annual hemp plant is four to five
times more effective in the paper production than trees. Caused by
the enormous strength of the fiber, hemp paper can be receycled far
more often than wooden paper.
Furthermore, hemp produces
two to three times more fibers than the cotton plant, but without
any pesticide. 50% of the total used pesticide are for the cotton
growing. We have finally to stop this contamination of earth and
groundwater.
Hemp seed is far more nutritious than even
soybean, contains more essential fatty acids than any other source,
is second only to soybeans in complete protein (but is more
digestible by humans), is high in B-vitamins, and is 35% dietary
fiber.
Hemp seed is not psychoactive and cannot be used as a drug. Hemp
seed oil may be nature's most perfectly balanced oil. It contains
an ideal 3:1 ratio of omega-6's [linoleic acid] to omega-3's
[alpha-linolenic acid] for long-term use, and provides the omega-6
derivative gamma-linolenic acid (GLA).
Hemp can be used in many ways, like no other plant i.e. as biomass
or as isolation and building material. Regional and hemp based
circular flow economies in connection with solar energy may help to
stop the climate warming.
Hemp is last but not least one
of the eldest elixir and intoxicant in the human history.
Hemp is an effective medicine against seizures, sickness, stress
and so many more diseases.
In addition, hemp is one of the less toxic plants and nowadays, the
best studied drug worldwide.
Hemp could stop the
intoxication of the population through harmful medicine. The turn
to sustainable agriculture will be impossible without this precious
plant. A complete rehabilitation of hemp, the useful plant No. 1,
is overdue. Natural resources, water and the sun provide with all
we need.
