hemp ne demek?

Hemp is a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant species that is grown specifically for industrial uses. It is a tall, upright plant with a fibrous stalk and produces seeds that are rich in protein and oil. Hemp can be used to make a wide variety of products, including clothing, paper, rope, building materials, bioplastics, and biofuels.

Hemp is often confused with marijuana because they are both part of the same plant species. However, hemp contains very low levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive compound that gives marijuana its intoxicating effects. Hemp plants contain less than 0.3% THC and cannot get you high.

In recent years, hemp has been gaining popularity as a source of cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive compound that has been shown to have potential therapeutic benefits for a range of health conditions.

Hemp was historically a widely cultivated crop, but it was banned in the United States in the 1930s due to its association with marijuana. In 2018, the U.S. government legalized hemp cultivation and production, opening the door for a resurgence in the industry.
