I would like effects of smoking, eating, or topically applying cannabis; to thank my beloved parents, Corinne and Warren (1949- the historical uses of cannabis and its influence on religion, 2007); grandma Georgina; sisters Susan and (in-law) economics, and politics; and the negative impacts of prohi- Sonja; brothers Ken (Buck), Randy and (in-law) Bibber; bition, while experimenting in participatory education in nieces Kirstan, Hailey, Sara and Faith; nephews Brendan, constant, passive, civil disobedience.

Chris Cant deserves special mention for his help re-writing the first chapter. Fi- nally, the team of Whelm King, Andrew Brown and Sarita Mielke deserve a great deal of credit for helping me give birth to this epic 17 year long project. These people have inspired and helped me beyond measurement. Some might criticize me for putting so many quotes in this book. Rather than footnote, I decided to include the words of other activists and thinkers who have made valu- able contributions to the cannabis movement. This should both provide a better context for what I write about the herb and help lead readers towards other books that I feel make an important contribution to our understanding of cannabis and its impacts. 7 Chapter 1 Hemp’s Beginnings omo sapiens and their direct genetic forebears have under human control between 1,000,000 and 500,000 Hroamed the Earth for millennia.

  • Hemp Enterprises in the Czech Republic
    Masaryk University Faculty of Social Studies Department of Environmental Studies Diploma Work Šárka Roušavá, B.A.A. Towards Environmental Sustainability: Hemp Enterprises in the Czech Republic Study Advisor: Benjamin Vail, Ph.D. Brno 2011 Thanks I would like to express my gratitude to Benjamin Vail, Věra Horáková, Michal Ruman, Jiří Vyhlídal, Nadia Johanisová, Dairel Pérez Santana, Helena Švédová, Vít Šindlář, Kateřina Sedláčková for all their inspiration, feedback and technical help. Thanks also to all the respondents for participating and to Hana Gabrielová for providing hemp paper, which this diploma work has been printed on. Declaration I declare that I worked on this diploma work independently and with the use of the listed literature. Brno, 20 May 2011 Šárka Roušavá, B.A.A. 2 Annotation A partial solution to some of the wide-ranging environmental problems of our time could be provided through the cultivation of hemp, one of the most resilient and diverse plants, and its implementation in the economy. Cannabis sativa is environmentally beneficial in its actual cultivation, contributing to soil health and climate change mitigation. Furthermore, hemp can be made into thousands of useful, non-toxic and easily recyclable or biodegradable products in the food, pharmaceutical, textile, paper, building, energy and other industries thereby offering environmentally-friendly alternatives to polluting materials and processes that are currently being used by petroleum- and synthetics-based economies. In addition to a description of the plant and some of its many uses, aspects of its historical and global context are described. On the premise that hemp use can have a positive impact on environmental sustainability, the main objective is to explore the state of hemp culture in the Czech Republic – to discover who have been some of the players in the Czech hemp industry, to determine what obstacles they face and what factors have made it possible for some of them to flourish.

  • Hemp 101 for Construction a Sustainable Finishing Material HELLO
    Hemp 101 for Construction A Sustainable Finishing Material HELLO, Welcome to Hemp 101 for Construction: An introduction to one of the oldest and "newest" building materials on earth. For professionals in construction who are new to hemp... This is not a technical guide, it's an overview of a high performance, versatile, and resilient natural material that's going to flood the market in the coming years. We'll take a short look back at hemp's history, dive into technical and functional uses, then look forward to how it can help us collectively move towards a more sustainable earth. Through the lens of your professions, you can view this material from many perspectives, recognize its limitations and potential, as well as evaluate both short term benefits and long term returns. I created this guide because the reemergence of hemp is recent, and so naturally, many people have never heard of the plant, or think hemp is Marijuana. Education on the facts and science is our path to breaking the stigma, and to adding one of the strongest fibers on earth to our toolbox. I invite you to explore it, and consider it on your next project. Hebah Saddique, PMP Founder, Green Takeover October 2020 1 GREEN TAKEOVER Born to bridge the worlds of climate action and industrial hemp, Green Takeover symbolizes the union of these two movements. Our mission is to inspire action using hemp as a catalyst for a green economy. Hemp fits directly into conversations of a circular economy, regenerative design thinking and materials for a closed loop.

  • Hemp As an Agricultural Commodity
    Hemp as an Agricultural Commodity Renée Johnson Specialist in Agricultural Policy December 22, 2010 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL32725 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Hemp as an Agricultural Commodity Summary Industrial hemp is a variety of Cannabis sativa and is of the same plant species as marijuana. However, hemp is genetically different and distinguished by its use and chemical makeup. Hemp has long been cultivated for non-drug use in the production of industrial and other goods. Some estimate that the global market for hemp consists of more than 25,000 products. It can be grown as a fiber, seed, or other dual-purpose crop. Hemp fibers are used in a wide range of products, including fabrics and textiles, yarns and raw or processed spun fibers, paper, carpeting, home furnishings, construction and insulation materials, auto parts, and composites. The interior stalk (hurd) is used in various applications such as animal bedding, raw material inputs, low-quality papers, and composites. Hemp seed and oilcake are used in a range of foods and beverages, and can be an alternative food protein source. Oil from the crushed hemp seed is an ingredient in a range of body-care products and also nutritional supplements. Hemp seed is also used for industrial oils, cosmetics and personal care, and pharmaceuticals, among other composites. Precise data are not available on the size of the U.S. market for hemp-based products. Current industry estimates report that U.S. retail sales of all hemp-based products may exceed $300 million per year.

  • Hemp As an Agricultural Commodity
    Hemp as an Agricultural Commodity Renée Johnson Specialist in Agricultural Policy June 22, 2018 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL32725 Hemp as an Agricultural Commodity Summary Industrial hemp is an agricultural commodity that is cultivated for use in the production of a wide range of products, including foods and beverages, cosmetics and personal care products, nutritional supplements, fabrics and textiles, yarns and spun fibers, paper, construction and insulation materials, and other manufactured goods. Hemp can be grown as a fiber, seed, or other dual-purpose crop. However, hemp is also from the same species of plant, Cannabis sativa, as marijuana. As a result, production in the United States is restricted due to hemp’s association with marijuana, and the U.S. market is largely dependent on imports, both as finished hemp-containing products and as ingredients for use in further processing (mostly from Canada and China). Current industry estimates report U.S. hemp product sales at nearly $700 million annually. In the early 1990s there was a sustained resurgence of interest to allow for commercial hemp cultivation in the United States. Several states conducted economic or market studies and initiated or enacted legislation to expand state-level resources and production. Congress made significant changes to federal policies regarding hemp in the 2014 farm bill (Agricultural Act of 2014 (P.L. 113-79, §7606). The 2014 farm bill provided that certain research institutions and state departments of agriculture may grow hemp under an agricultural pilot program. The bill further established a statutory definition for industrial hemp as “the plant Cannabis sativa L.
