Hemp farming uses the male pot plant which does not contain any THC which is the active ingredient in the female pot plant that causes the “high”.
Industrial hemp has zero THC. Or so close to zero, you don’t know the difference.
Actually I tend to think that industrial hemp was declared illegal in part by the plastics industry.
Kentucky ago agent is pushing the growth of hemp to replace tobacco industry in state. There have been some very informative materials lately educating the people to its use and non drug elements of the plant
First hemp farms in the Americas was in Jamestown. Great cordage.
Uh, that’s not true.
Hemp is different species of cannabis that has very, very little THC. You wont get high smoking it but you will get a headache. Both male & female hemp plants are used for the fiber, while the females product hemp seeds used in bird food, for the seed oil, & to product the next crop.
Marijuana growers hate hemp because the male hemp pollen will fertilize female marijuana plants via the wind, producing seeds & ruining the marijuana crop. Once a female marijuana plant has been pollinated, it stops producing flowers & THC & slowly dies. Seedy marijuana is almost worthless.
