Should Hemp Be Legalize The Planting Of Hemp?

Former United States President Thomas Jefferson once declared, “Hemp is of first necessity to the wealth and protection of the country” (“Thomas Jefferson”). Unfortunately, many modern political leaders are not as enthusiastic as Jefferson regarding the beneficial uses of hemp and marijuana. Hemp, as well as marijuana, originates from the Cannabis plant. Surprisingly, marijuana dates all the way back to 2700 B.C.; where it is first mentioned in a Chinese herbal and is said to have many strong values. Regrettably, a majority of countries applied strict limitations on the substance by the late 1960’s. With those restrictions came harsh retributions involving sales and possession of the substance. As time passed, research of medicinal

“Each year the world loses up to 58 thousand square miles of forest for paper, construction materials, firewood, and agriculture (Deforestation).” Yet a much more sustainable crop that has been cultivated for thousands of years can greatly remedy this issue. Hemp, the cousin of the marijuana plant; banned back in 1937 through the “Marihuana Tax Act” which made possetion of hemp and marihuana as well as transfer, illegal. However, as of 2015, congress has passed “The Industrial Hemp Farming Act”, and now it is up to the individual states on what to do next. People are still unsure about hemp due to the similarities to its cousin. However, I know that hemp is the key to save the world’s forests because it is a much more sustainable source of paper, clothing, and construction materieals.

For many years, there has been a war against society and the federal government on whether or not marijuana should be legal in the U.S., for medicinal and recreational purposes. There are so many positive aspects as to why it would be a highly viable asset to communities all over the U.S. Though there are some aspects to be looked at and taken into consideration when it comes to legalizing this drug, it still stands as an important fact that marijuana should be in fact legalized by the federal government, so that the development of hemp crops can be used as a valuable agricultural crop in the U.S., creating a new bio-fuel to reduce carbon emissions we consume every day, so that we can expose majority of the prohibitions on the dangers of marijuana are solely based on disinformation and lies, and so that dollars collected in tax revenue from marijuana sales can be used for bettering our communities instead of spending our earned taxed dollars on criminalization costs keeping it illegal.

Hemp seed has been claimed as man’s perfect food. It has a complete set of essential fatty acids, along with high amounts of Omega-3 and Omega-6 oils that are extremely healthy, yet hard to find in foods. It is 75% protein. It was used for ages in cooking due to its exceptional nutritional value. Today, hemp foods are extremely expensive due its illegal status in

Central Idea: Due to the war on drugs, hemp production is severely limited; however, with the proper legalization and regulation of this plant the U.S. economy would prosper due to job creation and the environment would benefit by the amount of tress saved.

Do any of you know the difference between industrial hemp and marijuana? Would you like to? The purpose of this speech is to explain the differences in marijuana and industrial hemp, and to show the need to reform the present hemp laws in the United States in order to make hemp available for industrial purposes. The hemp plant shows its unique versatility by having many uses in industry and hemp has many distinct benefits over its counterpart in industry today. The usage of hemp would result in cleaner and more efficient industry. I will first discuss the differences between hemp and marijuana to avoid confusion, and then state the many ways that industrial hemp can help our economy such as; the use for fiber, the use in foods, and

Hemp is essential to your bodily health because of the vitamins and minerals located in these types of products. Industrial farming of hemp should be legal in the United States because of the monetary and physical benefits.

Industrial hemp should be legalized throughout the U.S. because it would greatly benefit everyone, it is not harmful in any way, it cannot get people high, and it is healthy for the environment. Although some people believe hemp is dangerous or the same thing as marijuana, it is actually a healthy thing, it can be used for many things, and it is nothing like marijuana (ethos).

Cannabis originated from Central Asia generations ago, with references to Cannabis dating back to medical and religious Chinese and Indian texts. Cannabis was also used in the West as hemp fibre, for industrial purposes, before it was used for medical use by W.B. O’Shaughnessy. Through this essay, I will be evaluating cannabis as a recreational drug, which has occurred since the 1840’s seen in hashish clubs and bars, and will be analysing the advantages and disadvantages of the legalisation and criminalisation of

The definition of hemp is a plant that has low THC and perhaps has a higher level of CBD, and it is a non-psychoactive variety of the same species as recreational marijuana. Hemp breathes in four times the carbon dioxide of trees, and has amazing versatility and environmental benefits; it is hardy, pest and drought resistant, and grows over ten feet tall and even in elevations over eight-thousand feet. This plant produces four times the pulp per acre as compared to harvested trees, and only takes five months to grow. Hemp is high in antioxidants, fiber, calcium, and iron; it is good for skin, inflammation, weight loss, immune support, and cognitive brain function. Hemp seed is a complete plant protein with all twenty amino acids and a 3:1

Industrial Hemp is an ancient crop, which has a multitude of diverse uses. The earliest uses of Hemp can be traced back to the Sumerians and probably even earlier in man’s unrecorded history. Industrial Hemp is not Marijuana though the two plants are of the same family and have passing resemblance to one another. Industrial Hemp’s myriad uses are being rediscovered and at the forefront of research in diverse fields. I will be attempting to dispel some of the myth, and providing history and proven uses of this amazing plant.

Legalization of marijuana will greatly simplify the regulatory burden on hemp and the cultivation in the United States.

Recently I found myself a patron of Liquor Barn, a relatively new establishment, and some-what awe-inspiring sight. The idea of this incredibly mammoth collection of adult beverage choices under one roof is dizzying at the least. I personally recommend a visit to anyone who would consider themselves a responsible connoisseur of the finer, adult beverages the world has to offer. I had been listening to a debate on the local National Public Radio station about the recent lifting of the cannabis ban in a few states while driving in my car. I was a bit curious what the cashier of this fine establishment thought of the idea of lifting the ban in Kentucky. I decided to make a joke of it. I did this decision making while approaching the store. Once inside I selected a very fine bottle of single malt scotch, and my lovely wife chose a box of wine. Finer wine does not come in a box, but when you are as thirsty as she seems to be, you are looking for quantity not quality. Often, she informs me that it is because of me that she is driven to drink. I of course would disagree, but that is a different argument entirely. Once at the register I did indeed pose my not so funny joke to the cashier. I asked her what she thought the chances were that we would see a store similar in size to the Liquor Barn that sold just cannabis, Doritos, assorted chocolates, and other various ‘munchables’. Such a store might be called Weed World or Marijuana Mart. The cashier looked at me like I

Throughout American history our country has come to rely on many different natural resources. With technology and the population increasing, the number of fossil fuel reserves and natural forests are going down. What America needs is a renewable source of fuels and fibers that will meet the growing needs of the future, but will not damage our environment. One of the most promising sources of fiber, fuel, and natural oil is hemp. Hemp, also known as Cannabis Sativa L, has been used in our country since the early 17th century (Schreiber 160). Although hemp is considered an illegal drug, many people forget that it is a part of our country’s history. Despite its negative connotations, hemp has the potential to revolutionize the paper,
