The Hemp Consultants Blahg

Where you get more bhang for your buck!

In 1994 our collection of hemp information began as a research project to determine whether a HEMP 101 publication would be of general interest. Only time will tell.  Today we have compiled enough information to fill a website, hence The Hemp Consultants web hub for hemp. We will be going through our collection of materials and posting all relevant information to the Archives section of the website. We hope to have this up and going in the next few weeks. Please check back regularly as we update the page and blog as time goes on and things change. Stay tuned for good news!

Reason #2 to Re-legalize hemp in America

HEMP CAN BE MANUFACTURED INTO 25,000+ CONSUMER PRODUCTS

The stalk of the hemp plant is similar to other farm crop stalks, corn in particular. The major difference is that corn stalks produce a cob with niblets and hemp stalks produce herbs with seeds.

The main similarities in the stalk are the outer bast fibers, or bark, and the inner pulpy core which is made up mostly of cellulose. Cellulose is a very valuable raw material in industry and is derived from cotton, tree pulp and farm crops to name the primary few. 

Reason #1 to Re-legalize hemp in America

HEMP WAS FARMED BY PRESIDENTS GEORGE WASHINGTON AND THOMAS JEFFERSON

Enough said?
During the founding of America throughout the 1600s and 1700s hemp farming was not only respected, it was expected. And during crucial periods during this part of American history, hemp farming was deemed mandatory for the protection and commerce of the colonies. In fact, it was illegal to NOT farm hemp in times of dire need. AND taxes could be paid with bales of hemp. So, what happened?

Sow what? Where?
"Make the most you can of the Indian hemp seed
and sow it everywhere." ~ George Washington, 1794


Hemp? For what? Why?
This link is very cool with regards to Thomas Jefferson
and his fondness of, and devotion to, the hemp plant.

"Hemp is of first necessity to the wealth and
protection of the country." -Thomas Jefferson

I will be adding more content from Washington and Jefferson but the bottom line is that these two gentlemen felt the hemp plant was of great necessity to the foundation of America and we believe those desires still hold true to this day. What do you think? Please ,voice your opinion!
