WELCOME TO HEMP
Yes, Hemp! Now I know what you are thinking and I can tell you that you are totally wrong. When many hear the word hemp they think of marijuana, pot or a recreational drug that gets you high. Well hemp is part of the cannabis plant, mainly the fibrous stalk of the plant, but you CANNOT get high from smoking or eating it.
As of 2015, Congress classified hemp as legal in the United States if it contains no more than 0.3% of THC by weight. THC is the cannabinoid portion of marijuana that gets you high and it also has some medicinal value too, but that is not what this training is about. But people wrongly associate hemp with the drug marijuana and that is misguided.
BENEFITS OF HEMP PRODUCTS
First off hemp seeds are a fantastic organic superfood that even the USDA certifies as organic and safe for consumption. Hemp is one of the most versatile products on the planet and has been cultivated and used (not as a drug) for thousands of years. Not only can you eat it but you can make clothing, rope, fuel, oil, soap, and paper out of it, just to name a few.
Both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew hemp and the Declaration of Independence is written on hemp paper. One acre of hemp will produce the same amount of paper that 10 acres of trees will make. And this is one of the main reasons it became illegal, because it threatened the profits of the timber industry.
Did you know that Henry Ford made a car that was made of hemp and ran on hemp fuel? Hemp has been proven to be stronger than steel and even today a few car companies are making cars made of hemp, see pictures above of a Canadian car company's hemp electric car and below of Ford's hemp car. With such a versatile product that people and companies are waking up to here in the U.S., can you see the profit potential?
