Hemp is a term that is basically used in referring to type of a high growing cannabis plant together with its and industrial products such as some oils, seed foods and the fiber all made from this vital plant. This plant is also refined to yield other products such as resin, wax, fuel, pulp paper and rope among other products. In reality there are basically various benefits which can be derived from the USA made hemp.

Some several years below the line cannabis had been banned unjustly. In recent times rediscoveries concerning the factual basis of this herb has been made suggesting that the plant contains several economic, environmental and commercial potential. The capacity of cannabis in the production of paper products is actually an attractive fact as it has been discovered that the hemp plant is capable of producing papers more than trees can. This is associated with the fact that this plant is able to produce papers more than five times an acre of trees can.

In the USA this plant actually grows in all states and it is tolerant to all types of climates and limited amounts of water for its survival. On the other hand cotton usually requires moderate climates for its sustenance and basically needs huge amounts of water compared to cannabis.

Trees usually have to grow for more than forty years after they have been planted before the get harvested for any use in commercial purpose. Basically this plant takes about four months to achieve a growth height of about twenty feet tall which means that its mature enough to be harvested.

This plant is not only used for impressive number of products but it has also astonishing number of environmental benefits. Basically the herb grows in a wide range of climates of many types of soils also. Industrial cannabis is naturally resilient to many types of pests and also due to the fact that it tight spacing in its growth outdoes most of weeds.

These facts makes industrial cannabis a perfect substitute of tree which in turn would reduce the chopping down of trees which actually destroys large tracts of forested areas endangering the natural habitats for wildlife. This substitution also reduces soil erosion since the soil is covered by cover crops and also the roots making the soil compact to be carried away by water runoff.

Because of the confusing facts about marijuana and industrial cannabis many of the world governments have a believe that in legalizing industrial cannabis they are legalizing marijuana which is not the case. Industrial hemp and marijuana are totally different types of cannabis.

Industrial cannabis is actually different from marijuana on the basis of intoxicant content in marijuana. Recently there have been great efforts to revive growth of industrial hemp in USA. The emphasis has been greatly influenced by nutritionists, activists and green consumers among others.
