Hemp has been used for various purposes since ancient times: in medicine, as a fabric, and for nutrition – hemp is rich in proteins, Omega fatty acids, and fiber – for papermaking – the Bible and the American Declaration of Independence are written on hemp paper.
Today, hemp is used as a building material (vehicle body parts) and as biofuel (diesel and ethanol fuel). Hemp belongs to the plant genus within the hemp family. Therefore, many believe that it has psychoactive properties.
