What is Hemp?

For ease of explanation, we will refer to hemp by “Cannabis sativa”. Other marijuana plants can also be called hemp, however, the cannabis variety of hemp is considered to be most useful. The name, “Cannabis sativa” even means “Useful Hemp” when broken down. Hemp actually boils down to any plant with extreme durability that early humanoids used centuries ago throughout history. We often think of fiber as the most common product, but “Hemp” can simply refer to twine or rope that comes from twisting the strands of a hemp plant. It can also refer to the stalk of a hemp plant that the rope or the twine came from.
