Hemp: Plant of the future.

Historical knowledge
In the old country, the poor people (peasants, farmers, and the like) were not allowed to eat butter. The reason for this? Rich nobles and other " high-born" people ate butter and would not eat the same things that the poorer people ate. The poor people soon found that they could make a spread out of hemp. They called this spread hemp-butter. Hemp butter tasted pleasant and gave a texture like unto peanut butter. When diseases came around the poor people were actually healthier than the rich personage!!!
Here are some other interesting facts about hemp:

• George Washington and Thomas Jefferson both had hemp plantations.
  
• Benjamin Franklin owned a hemp mill, where he turned hemp pulp into paper.
  
• Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence on hemp paper (which more than likely came from Benjamin Franklin’s paper mill).
  Because of its natural whiteness, hemp was used in the making of sails and ropes on ships
  
• Hemp and linseed oil (from flax) were used in the making of paint, resins, shellacs, and varnishes.

Business
If the person that is reading this blog wants to make a well profiting business, look no further than the end of this blog. Here are my suggestions:
Paper
Making paper out of hemp has many advantages here are a few of them.

• Because of hemp-pulps natural whiteness chlorinated bleach will not need to be added to whiten it, only hydrogen peroxide. This means that the oceans will be spared a lot of harmful, toxic dioxins, which destroy many millions of plant, and animal lives each day. Corals die, leaving less homes for the creatures that lived in their shadows. Fish are poisoned and die, the ones which do live are eaten poisoning the creatures that eat them, including us.
  By making paper out of hemp instead of wood you would indirectly be saving lives.
  
• This is also good for the owner of the business because the owner will not have to spend as much on chemicals.
  
  
• Hemp is lighter and stronger than wood, making it easier to pulp, therefore (again) using fewer chemicals than it takes to pulp wood. This is good both for the environment and the businessman. For the environment this means that fewer chemicals will be mercilessly dumped into oceans, and fewer trees chopped down by loggers. For the businessman this means that there will be less currency being used on toxic chemicals, and less of a cost for logging.
  
  
• For one acre of hemp it produces anywhere from 3-10 DRY TONS in FOUR MONTHS!!!
  That's four to five times what an average forest yields, in less time!!!

• Farming
  Hemp is good for the farmer for many reasons, here are some of the best.
  
• Hemp grows in a variety of climates, and is draught resistant, meaning less of a cost for watering and no need to change your lifestyle to fit in with the lifestyle of the plant.
  
• Hemp is naturally repellant to most pests, which would harm or destroy other plants. Its only serious downfall is a soil-borne cutworm, which eats the roots, killing the plant.
  
• Hemp clears land. When planted they prefer to grow close together, thus making it impossible for weeds to grow. This means less chemicals bought and used and eventually dumped into bodies of water, or into the ground.

• Farming

Here are some reasons why hemp is the way to go for cloths.

• Hemp fibers are longer, stronger, and more resistant to mold and mildew than cotton.
  
• Fabrics mad out of at least 50% hemp block more of the suns harmful UV rays than cotton or any other cloth.
  If clothes were made out of hemp rather than cotton, 50% of the WORLDS pesticides and herbicides wouldn't have to be spayed on cotton any longer.
  Other uses
  
• Hemp hulls are beneficial to birds, and were once used as a main ingredient in birdseed.
  
• Hemp seeds may be turned into flour and oil or butter for baking or other uses.(Hemp produces 900-12,000 lbs. of seed per acre)
  The original gruel was made out of ground hemp.
  

NUTRITIONAL VALUES OF HEMP

• Hemp-seed-oil is the richest source of Essential Fatty Acids (E.F.A. governs growth, vitality, and the state of mind) containing 80%, as well as certain amino acids, and 1.7% super omega 6 (Gamma Linoleic Acid [G.L.A.]) which is a rare nutrient found in mothers milk.
  
• Hemp-seed protein is made up of 65% globulin edestin, 55% omega 6 (or Linoleic acid [abbreviation LA]), which helps to transfer oxygen from the lungs to every cell in your body, and hold it in cell membranes, 25% omega 3 (or Alpha Linoleic Acid [L.N.A.]) which also helps to transfer oxygen to body cells.
  
• Hemp seed hulls contain approximately 25% protein, making them a good ingredient or substitute for birdseed.
