Regrann from @womenweedwine - HEMP FACTS: From Our Conscious Loving Soul Sister @ericasdreamlife

#Hemp can clean the atmosphere and protect the #environment and even reversing damage done to it. Global warming is the result of high levels of carbon dioxide, or CO2. Hemp consumes four times as much CO2 as trees do, and its short 12- to 14-week growing cycle makes it a highly sustainable crop that effectively fights global warming.
♲🌱
Oldest known records of hemp farming go back 5000 years in #China, although hemp industrialization probably goes back to ancient #Egypt.

In 1938, hemp was called ‘Billion Dollar Crop.’ It was the first time a cash crop had a business potential to exceed a billion dollars. (Popular Mechanics, Feb. 1938.)

Quality paints and varnishes were made from #hempseedoil until 1937. 58,000 tons of #hempseeds were used in America for paint products in 1935. (Sherman Williams Paint Co. testimony before the U.S.Congress against the 1937 #MarijuanaTaxAct.)

Today, hemp is increasingly popular for building homes. #Hempcrete walls are fire-resistant, bug-free, rot-free, and even mold-free, and they are 100 percent biodegradable, as well.
♲🌱
#Hempseeds offer complete nutrition, even better than flax or chia. They contain high levels of vitamins A, B, D, and E, as well as vital #minerals, #proteins, and #fattyacids. In fact, hemp seeds are a #superfood, Hemp has powerful antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties, making it a medical and scientific wonder too.
