Body Care
Hemp has incredibly many uses, it can be processed in more than 1000 different products. Almost all parts of the plant can be used. The flowers and seeds of the plant are processed in healthy food or organic body care, and the oil is also used in bio-fuel, pet food, and textiles.
Fastest Growing
Hemp is also called industrial hemp, and comes from the Cannabis Sativa plant, and is nowadays specifically grown for industrial use.
Hemp is one of the fastest-growing plants that exist. Although both are Cannabis Sativa plants, hemp is not psychoactive, because there is almost no THC in hemp.
Hemp and cannabis are related to each other, but they have completely different chemical compositions. Hemp contains a lot of CBD and very little THC, so there are no psychoactive effects.
The legality of growing and processing hemp varies greatly from country to country. Some countries regulate hemp which contains a very low concentration of THC.
