Who are we?
|
|
|
|
A national organization to facilitate and promote the growth of
|
|
a hemp industry in Canada.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What is Hemp?
|
|
|
|
"Hemp is an alternative agricultural crop with significant
|
|
economic and environmental benefits for the Canadian
|
|
farming and Industrial communities."
|
|
|
|
Hemp, isn't that marijuana?
|
|
|
|
No.
|
|
Industrial hemp is a special low THC version
|
|
of the cannabis sativa plant grown for fiber and biomass.
|
|
It can not be used as an intoxicant.
|
|
|
|
Why Hemp?
|
|
|
|
Hemp is an alternative, renewable resource
|
|
capable of providing:
|
|
100% Tree-Free paper products.
|
|
All of our energy needs through biomass fuel production.
|
|
A stronger more durable textile, made from
|
|
100% natural fibers, grown without pesticides.
|
|
|
|
How can you help?
|
|
|
|
We are a non-profit environmental organization supported by
|
|
membership and donations from both the private and
|
|
business sector. Please join with us, and
|
