It’s National Hemp Week: Why Should You Care?
This week marks the 3rd annual Hemp History Week movement and activists are hoping to spread the message that it's time to bring back hemp to United States farms.
In case your familiarity with hemp doesn't extend beyond those annoying necklaces they sell at the beach let's rewind a bit. What is hemp, really?
Essentially it's the non-drug variety that's grown from Cannabis. Yes, cannabis is often known as marijuana, but hemp contains almost zero tetrahydrocannabinol (THC - the marijuana part of the plant.)
