Industrial Hemp

Slow connection? Watch in lower quality
Nathaniel, Rhys and Yolanda share their passion for the nutritional and therapeutic benefits of growing, processing and using industrial hemp. Not to be confused with its `cousin` plant marijuana, licensed industrial hemp (in this case cannabis sativa) must be grown to contain a level of less than 0.2% THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) - the psychoactive constituent of cannabis. This versatile plant only takes 4 months to mature and the whole plant can be used - roots, stems, leaves, buds and seeds for food, clothing and supplements eg the fibres for fabric and the seeds for oils. The seeds are high in protein and contain a wide range of vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids eg health-promoting anti-oxidants and omega 3. The hemp we see here is produced on the South Downs but there are various varieties to suit different climates and soil conditions. http://www.vitalityhemp.com/ An Adliberate film http://www.adliberate.co.uk for WoodlandsTV http://www.woodlands.co.uk/tv

"Can any one point out any good thing that has came about from destroying our hemp industry?"
From the point of view of the powerful few, they became even richer.

I'm 100% for legalising industrial hemp, there is no reason for it to be banned in any way and is of great economic benefit for the U.K, however cannabis is a totally different story and should remain banned.

Those are female. Only the female flowers. Males have pollen. When the pollen get on the female flower it grows seeds.
