Hemp Marijuana Facts

What is Cannabis?

The cannabis plant is considered to be the most resilient out of all of the hemp plant varieties. It will produce cloth that is even sturdy enough to be used as sails as it was early on in the history of the shipping industry. This type of cloth is called “canvass” and was strong enough to not deteriorate when it was hit with the spray from the ocean. There are also three incredibly important things that a cannabis plant can create: medicine, seeds and pulp. Other varieties of hemp plant do not make these in any useable form, again setting the cannabis plant apart from its counterparts. The medicine can be used for numerous purposes when you mix the sticky resin found within each blossom and on each leaf with other medicines. Pulp from the cannabis plant can be made into paper or used as a form of fuel. The seeds have dual purposes as well. First animals and humans can eat the seeds, and second, paints and varnishes can use the oil extracted from the seeds.
