U.S. Hemp for
Health & Economy
Industrial Hemp is not a drug. It
contains no significant amount of THC,
the primary psychoactive ingredient in
drug varieties of Cannabis. However,
due to outdated and inaccurate drug policy, federal law
still prohibits commercial industrial hemp cultivation.
The movement to legalize hemp farming in the U.S. is
based on potential environmental, health and economic
benefits.
Environment Hemp is a fast-growing renewable resource and requires
no petroleum-based chemicals to grow. Hemp products
help reduce market dependency on synthetics, lumber,
cotton and other non-sustainable industrial materials.
Pollinators thrive on hemp’s high pollen content.
Health
Hemp seed provides Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential
fatty acids, is an easily digested complete protein and a
good source of dietary fiber. It is gluten free and has no
known allergens.
Economy
In Canada, hemp nets farmers $200-$400 per acre.
According to the USDA, soy and corn typically net less
than $160. The American market for hemp products is
the largest worldwide.
