While it’s not exactly the same plant, hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) comes from the same family as cannabis. However, unlike its cousin, hemp doesn’t make you go high. The herb only contains tiny amounts of THC, the chemical substance that gives marijuana its psychedelic kick. This begs the question: what IS it good for? The short answer is a lot of things.

Think about the positive impact you can make on the environment by spreading awareness and building a strong community of fellow eco-livers.
