Hemp and cannabis can be used for a mind-boggling number of things. Here’s a smattering of some of the its applications.
1. Medicine
Cannabis can be used for a multitude of medicinal purposes. One I find extremely fascinating is as a cancer cure. Here’s a link to 100 studies that found cannabis to be helpful in fighting cancer.

Cannabis can also be used to reduce stress, cure insomnia, improve heart health, and promote healthy eyes. Don’t believe me, though. Check out this article by Dr. Axe.

Hemp has too many uses to do it justice in a short blog post like this. Just to name a few:
Biofuel, plastics, paper, insulation, clothes, fiberboard, cosmetics, shampoo. For more details, here is some info on hemp from the University of Hawaii.

Hemp can be used for an amazing number of products – and the list is still growing. There are at least 30,000 uses……
…..Hemp is naturally resistant to most pests, so very little herbicides or pesticides are used to grow it. It can be grown very close together, so it maximizes the use of the land and crowds out the weeds. It is an excellent crop for crop rotation. It builds up and revitalizes the soil by aerating the soil and depositing carbon dioxide, so a food crop could be planted immediately after a hemp harvest without leaving the land fallow. Hemp grows in a wide variety of climates and soil types…..
…..Hemp is ready to harvest quickly. Within four months of being planted, hemp grows 10 to 20 feet tall…...A single acre of hemp can produce four times more paper than one acre of trees…..
…..Hemp building materials can be substituted for and are much stronger that wood. They can be manufactured cheaper than wood and will reduce building costs…..
…...it can also be used to make highly nutritious foods, as well as paint, varnish, ink and lubricating oils and plastic substitutes.
Thanks for your time and attention
