History of Hemp

Hemp has been used by human civilization since the beginning of time, or at least, since man has been smart enough to harness the products of nature to their own devises. It is a wonder plant and has often been treated as such, with traces being found all over the world from all manner of time periods. It is only within the last one hundred years that cannabis has been made illegal, with the fight to bring it back into the mainstream being fought everyday. Of course, as you will know from our other articles, hemp is still grown legally around the world with next to little THC content, but no way near to its full potential.

The following articles should give a good understanding of the use of hemp throughout history, its cultural significance through the ages, how our forefathers embraced its uses and how it eventually became illegal (for the most part).
