What is Hemp?
Hemps happen to belong to the fiber family of Cannabis sativa plant. For over thousand years, hemp has been cultivated for industrial purposes. It has been used to produce rope, paper, canvas and clothing till other textiles were discovered.
It has traditionally been a coarse fiber, more suited for making ropes rather than cloth, meant to worn over delicate skin of the human beings. Advances made in the breeding of the plant and treatment of the fibers has allowed one to come up with a soft and fine fiber which is good for weaving into fiber.
Since hemp is confused with marijuana it has been difficult to grow in the United States since 2006. The plants are of course members of the same species, their purpose is different. Industrial products contain no tetrahydrocannabinol for it to be a psychoactive substance. The growing of hem p in the United States is highly regulated. Of course neighboring Canada does grow this plant commercially.
