Simply stated, Hemp is the longest, strongest most durable natural fibre known to mankind and has been used for over 12000 years. Hemp can be grown in 2 months, does not require herbicides or pesticides, and uses a lot less water compared to cotton or rice growing techniques in Australia. Hemp farms cultivated along the Australian river systems (as did the first sailors and botanists) may soon be recognised as an option to current chemical and water thirsty crop growing techniques.
Hemp produces 400% more pulp per hectare than trees and produce products including hemp seed oil , paper, plastics, body care, cosmetics, clothing, food, fuel, construction products and medicine including CBD and THC cannabis Oil. Australian doctors are now starting to prescribe hemp medicine for many issues.There are many opportunities right now in Australia for hemp with climate change it may be essential.
If hemp and climate change could be taken seriously by world governments as one helpful saviour, we may just avoid suffocating in our own waste.
In order to reverse the Greenhouse Effect, we need to stop cutting down trees, burning Rain forests and using fossil fuel. It could replace most fibre now in use in clothing fabric manufacture, help world energy needs, reduce pollution and help reverse the on going extinction of animals on Earth and probably the universe, gone forever. Soil benefits include control of soil erosion, weeds, heavy metal removal and salinity. It's large tap root helps breakup and improve soil.
Hemp seed oil contains more EFA's (and best balance of omega 3,6 & 9) than flax, and actually tastes good. A nutty flavour, free from the objectionable undertones of flax oil.
Nutritional advisers and even some doctors believe these compounds to be very beneficial to health. Hemp oil also contains 57% linoleic (LA) and 19% linolenic (LNA) acids in the 3 to 1 ratio that matches our nutritional needs. These EFA's (essential fatty acids) so called because we need to consume them, must be sourced externally as it is not produced by the body.
The most asked question is whether it has any psycho activity. The answer is no. The seeds are washed and cleaned before being pressed. As a result, no THC is found in the final product. It does contain small amounts of CBD.
