Practical Uses for Industrial Hemp

Hemp is a form of cannabis that can be used for the benefit of the working class. Hemp can be used as a food product, clothing, body care, paper, textiles, fuel, an alternative to plastic, and much more. There are many myths concerning hemp, most of which are subject to bourgeois lies and propaganda. Hemp, which is illegal in our current society, has a more than valid argument for legalization.

Hemp can be used as a food product. Hemp has the ability to be changed into oil which can be used for everyday cooking. Hemp seeds are very nutritious and have many practical uses, even down to being used used for fish bait and enhancing motor skills. Hemp can even be used as a cosmetic product, as its seeds can be used in many lotions and make up. Hemp seed has been found to be more soothing to the skin than other materials in lotion and cosmetic products. Hemp is a virtually perfect ingredient in the process of paper-making. Hemp grows extremely quickly, which is a replacement to trees and can help to preserve our environment. Hemp also requires less machine and labor power to harvest then the amount of trees needed to produce paper.

Hemp can be used in fabric which is used to produce clothing. In fact, the first American flag was produced with fabric which included hemp. Hemp can be used in the production of textiles, a vital component in the construction industry of the economy.

Fuel is one of the most common uses of industrial hemp. Hemp oil was replaced by petroleum, but hemp oil is natural and just as effective as petroleum. In contrast, the use of petroleum is causing disasters, such as the oil spills in the ocean. Hemp oil can be utilized for many practical uses today, such as fueling a vehicle, a stove, even a home. Hemp does not produce the massive air and water pollution which is produced by burning petroleum. Hemp oil is a reliable alternative source of energy. Industrial hemp is also capable of creating hundreds of thousands of jobs. It has many practical uses, and can help the average American worker through their everyday life.

Marijuana

Marijuana is also illegal in our current society. There is a never-ending debate about this topic, but we are here to explain why it should be a legal resource and to briefly counter some of the propaganda about it.

First of all, marijuana is non-addictive – this has been tested and proven true time and time again. There has never been someone who has overdosed on marijuana. Marijuana, unlike many drugs like alcohol, does not make someone violent. In fact, marijuana calms and relaxes people. Most of the people who fight to keep marijuana illegal argue so for personal reasons. This is because there is really no argument that can be used except for personal examples and experiences.

Marijuana has legitimate medical benefits, such as helping patients endure the agony of chemotherapy by dealing with the loss of appetite and nausea the treatment causes. Marijuana has been proven to help with insomnia, headache, inflammation, Glaucoma, mood disorders, movement disorders and a host of other problems.

Through the further information posted below, we can conclude that cannabis is a plant that has no reason to remain illegal. We support the full legalization of cannabis and industrial hemp.
