Cultivated for over 2,000 years, hemp, which contains CBD, has the advantage of rapid growth and requires no special fertilization or treatment.
It is a variety of plant in the Cannabaceae family, highly prized by growers for its robustness, stalk size, high CBD content and low THC content (less than 0.2% THC).
Although referring to the same botanical species, the term "hemp" is now preferably used to designate the industrial plant and its plant fiber (CBD flowers, CBD resins, CBD oils, CBD e-liquids, CBG and other cannabinoids, textiles, insulation, etc.).), while the term "cannabis" is the name scientists use to designate the psychotropic form, used for recreational purposes (high THC levels and, correlatively, low CBD levels).
Hemp has many applications: textiles, building construction, insulation (sound and heat), cosmetics, the manufacture of oils, bedding, ropes, the purchase of CBD in the form of CBD flowers, CBD resin, CBD oils, CBD e-liquids, hemp seeds, etc......
It is also widely used as fuel, in paper mills, for human and animal nutrition, as a biofuel, for medical purposes (CBD flowers and CBD resins with low THC content, CBD oils, CBD cosmetics) and for recreational purposes (Cannabis with high THC content and low CBD content).
Hemp, which contains CBD, is also very useful in terms of crop rotation, as it leaves behind healthy soil with optimal characteristics.
Finally, hemp, which contains CBD, offers major advantages in terms of preserving the environment, since its production is carbon-negative. In other words, the plant absorbs more carbon dioxide than is emitted by the equipment used to harvest, process and transport it.
Hemp fibre could also represent an alternative to plastic, as it is entirely biodegradable and has similar properties to synthetic plastic.
It's up to us to halt the disastrous climatic upheavals that could otherwise become irreversible. Buying CBD is therefore good for the climate.
Hemp, which contains CBD, CBG and other cannabinoids such as THC, is an ecologically and economically viable alternative.
