Yet, not even a year after this publication, the government passed restrictions on hemp that essentially killed the entire industry. For the next 80 years, hemp and its history has largely been forgotten and misunderstood.
Sadly, today most people do not even know about hemp. We grew up never learning about it or even using it. The modern society never got the chance to experience the amazing quality and benefits that hemp brings. Many people mistakenly assume hemp as the same thing as marijuana (close, yet distinct, cousin). Others aren’t even aware of its existence.
So what is hemp and what can it do? To show the true potential of hemp, I have created a list of hemp products that exists today. Although some of these applications may not yet be fully commercialized, most of these items can be purchased online through various boutique brands. Many hemp advocates are fighting to offer customers high quality, eco-friendly hemp products that are superior to its conventional counterparts.
One thing that is clear is that as more people start using hemp, its misconstrued stigma will more quickly disappear. I hope some of you will have an opportunity to try some. You’ll be surprised how awesome these products really are.

Hemp seeds are probably the most popular application of hemp because it’s so nutritious. Popular among vegetarians and athletes, hemp seeds are often compared to flax and chia seeds as superfoods. Here’s just a short list of some of its amazing health benefits:
• One of the most nutritious foods available in nature.
• Easily digested by the body.
• Can sustain our dietary needs, even without consuming any other healthy food.
• Contains essential fatty acids (Omega-3 and Omega-6) – helps with immune system and cholesterol levels.
• Helps heal those suffering from immune deficiency diseases.
• A superior vegetarian source of protein.
While hemp offers different types of oil, hemp seed oil is the most common dietary application you will find. Hemp seed oil comes from the seeds of the plant itself. When the oil is unrefined, it is commonly considered “Nature’s most perfectly balanced oil.” Here’s why:
• It contains a perfectly balanced 3:1 ratio of Omega 6 and Omega 3 essential fatty acids.
• Great source for Vitamin A & E.
• Includes a number of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, sulfur, potassium, phosphorus, iron, and zinc.
• Has amazing skin care properties.
• Promotes healthy hair and nails, while reducing inflammation.
