Marijuana plants cannot be hidden in hemp fields. Marijuana requires wider spacing to maximize leaf size. Hemp, on the other hand, is grown tightly spaced to maximize stalk. Hemp is usually harvested before it goes to seed.
Hemp can be manufactured into high quality paper and it can be recycled several times due to its long fibers. This makes it more eco-friendly than wood-based paper.
Hemp has a low lignin content and can be pulped using less chemicals than wood. Hemp does not use Chlorine Bleach to process as wood does making it much better for the environment. Hemp processing using Hydrogen Peroxide instead, a much safer eco-friendly choice.
Hemp grows well in all types of environments and soil types and is naturally resistant to pests and therefore does not need pesticides. Since it grows tightly spaced, weeds are not an issue leaving a weed-free field to the next crop.
Hemp can replace cotton. Cotton is grown with massive amounts of pesticides which is harmful to humans as well as the environment. 50% of the worlds pesticides are sprayed on cotton crops!
Hemp can replace the need of cutting down trees to produce paper leaving forests for wildlife and recreation, not to mention leaving them to produce oxygen for us to breath.
Hemp can produce 3-8 dry tons of fiber per acre. This is 4 times what the average forest can yield!
There is a movement afoot to bring hemp back to our farmlands. Versativa is a network marketing company committed to educate our citizens and at the same time offer healthy, organic, raw foods made from hemp. Join the REVOLUTION!
