Summary: The Benefits Of Hemp

Where Cannabis hemp differentiates from Cannabis marijuana is the amount of THC (Tetrahydrocannabiniods, what gives you the high) each contain. Hemp contains at most 1.5% and as little as 0.3% THC where marijuana can contain from 5% to 20% THC. Cannabis hemp also contains a higher amount of Cannabidiol also known as CBD which counteracts the effects of THC and reduces the neurological effects of THC. The hemp plant itself cannot contain more than the 1.5% THC because of its composition addressed on Hempethics.weebly.com, "The reason for the low THC content in hemp is that most THC is formed in resin glands on the buds and flowers of the female cannabis plant. Industrial hemp is not cultivated to produce buds, and therefore lacks the primary component that forms the marijuana high." Some dispute that if hemp is legalized it will be made to produce marijuana products which is scientifically impossible. Besides its chemical breakdown, the fibers in hemp are so durable they can be used as a substitute in place of wood materials. Its density is like that of bamboo and produces four times as much fiber per acre as pine trees which can help with problems like deforestation and green house effects.

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.

One major issue with Industrial Hemp is its use for BioMass fuel. Believe it or not, but the energy that Cannabis stores during its growth can be converted into fuel after harvest. Many plants can be used to make BioMass fuel, yet Cannabis is the top candidate for its supply due to it’s abundance of cellulose and ease of harvesting it. BioMass fuel can be used for absolutely any form of energy, be it fuel to power an engine (car) or to generate electricity. BioMass fuel burns cleaner than petrochemical fuels.

One of the first things about marijuana history that the American public still doesn 't understand is that cannabis, was once very legal to grow in the United States. In fact, up until 1883 it was one of the largest agricultural crops in the world, including America.(The Union) But it wasn’t grown for the psychoactive plant cannabis sativa.

Derived from the buds of the hemp plant, hemp oil, like its cousin cannabis oil, has been touted as having strong medicinal value in treating a number of ailments. Hemp oil has been described as a miracle product because of its effectiveness in treating conditions such as cancer, depression, diabetes, anxiety, and pain, among other conditions, when traditional pharmaceutical drugs have failed. Some call it the natural chemotherapy for all cancer patients. Rigorous scientific cannabis testing has not been done in the U.S, largely because both marijuana and hemp are classified as Schedule 1 drugs by the U.S Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). Regardless, evidence of successful treatment and desperation to find a treatment that work, has compelled thousands of patients to gamble with medical marijuana and hemp oil treatments. Hemp oil treatment for cancer has gained some attention, but if a patient is convinced that this alternative treatment is the next best option, such a decision should be

Hemp has many ways it can put oxygen back into the air. One of the best ways it can give us cleaner air, other than through the automotive industry, is by replacing wood made paper with paper made from hemp. According to George Antonio from Drexel University, “until the 1880’s between 75% and 90% of paper was made with hemp fiber.” Many major documents such as the first draft of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and even Benjamin Franklin’s newspapers were made from hemp paper. They utilized hemp for many reasons, and one of those was to save us from deforestation, which is becoming a big problem for endangered species and the state of our air.

I oppose legalizing hemp for manufacturing. As a concerned citizen, this legislation will affect me in the following ways. First legalizing hemp could open the door to the legalization of marijuana because they are both cannabis plants. secondly I fear the law will make it easier for people to illegally grow marijuana under the guise of growing hemp. I also think this is a gate way to a future legislation of the legalization of marijuana which I am against. How can you ensure me these inspections and background checks will be rigorous?
