Why use Industrial Hemp Fiber?
To understand its importance, first, it is important to burst the bubbles of myths that revolve around Hemp fiber.
The majority of people confuse Hemp fiber with Marijuana which shows psychoactive effects in humans. Both of the fibers have THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) content, but they both are not the same. Hemp fiber
shows 0.3% of THC, which is of no harm. Moreover, it is used to make products like clothes, oil, paper, etc. While on the other hand, Marijuana is used for medical and recreational purposes and have intoxication properties with more than 0.3% TCH content.
This new way of understanding is necessary to incorporate the cultivation of Industrial Hemp for numerous benefits.
