Every part of Industrial Hemp can be put into commercial use, roots, stem, fiber, herd, leaves, flowers and seeds.  Lets pen down why Hemp is important crop for India, and why it must be grown at a larger scale and why laws must be amended to take advantage of this versatile crop: 1.        One acre of hemp produces as much as fiber as 2-3 acres of cotton. 2.      Hemp fiber is far more stronger than cotton, softer and its life is almost double then cotton. 3.       Cotton needs more fertilizers, more water, and almost grows anywhere unlike cotton and uses negligible pesticides. 4.      One acre of Hemp can produce 3 times more paper than tree pulp, almost all types of papers like toilet paper, card         boards, its paper can last for many hundreds of years. and it can be recycled more   times than tree pulp paper. 5.      Hemp can be used to produce fiberboard that is stronger and lighter than wood. Substituting hemp fiberboard for   timber can reduce our dependence on forests. 6. 

भारत और भांग  भारत में भांग का इतिहास बहुत ही पुराना रहा है, भारत में लगभग 2000 इसा पूर्व  से भांग की खेती होती रही है | भारत में इसे भांग, चरस और गांजा के नाम से जाना जाता है। भांग, चरस और गांजा एक ही पौधे, cannabis ( भांग का पौधे  ) से ही प्राप्त होते है,  भांग - भांग के पौधे के पत्ते और फूल को पीस कर बनाया जाता है, और आम तौर पर दूध, या लस्सी में मिला कर पिया जाता है | चरस - भांग के फूल और पत्ते के रगड़ कर या पीस कर उसमे से जो अर्क या रस निकलता है उसे चरस कहते है, इसका धुआँ पिया जाता है |   गांजा - भांग के सूखे पत्तो और फूल को कहते है और इसे बीड़ी या सिगरेट में भर कर पिया जाता है |  भारतीय शास्त्रों में भांग का वर्णन  पञ्च राज्यानि वीरुधां सोमश्रेष्ठानि ब्रूमः। दर्भो भङ्गो यवः सह ते नो मुञ्चन्त्व् अंहसः॥ (अथर्ववेद 11.6. 5 ) सोम जो पेड़ पौधों के राज्य पर राज करता है, वो कहते है , दूर्वा, भाँग,जौ, विशाल शक्ति हमें हमारे दुखो से निजात दिलाये |  शुश्रुत संहिता ( 600 इ पू ) में इसका वर्णन एक दवा के रूप ने किया गया है जो दस्त और कफ जनित रोगो से मुक्ति देता है |   चिकित्सा सार संग्रह ( ११वी

The one thing that I think we all hate is getting manipulated by our governments via false information, well guess what? our weed is illegal just because of that. Story of hemp ban was just a simple lie  Let's take a walk in 19th century America- Our precious world leader was once afraid of the non-whites(one can argue they still are). Now, who is the nearest non-white to America? Mexicans my friends, and Mexico knew how to party hard. So, even though at one side America knew the benefits and harmless actions of hemp(since they were using this same hemp in health tinctures and were using it to potentially cure a lot many diseased and it was also proved in 1940s that hemp or weed doesn't cause madness in people), they used it as propaganda to demonize the minor community of Mexicans and Chinese( it was seriously believed that Chinese were going to use hemp drugged female as sex slaves). Richard Nixon,37th president of America then used the weed and heroin as a way to suppress th

Industrial Hemp is the new buzz word in agriculture and business sector. A plant which was banned all over the world and was regulated under the NDPS act of 1985 in India, has suddenly gained so much prominence, why the sudden interest? you might ask. The reasons are economics and medicinal benefits of this plant. About the legality of Industrial hemp till date, only one state is giving license for cultivation of Industrial hemp in India. Uttarakhand passed a Government Order  in 2015 for the legal cultivation of Industrial Hemp, with THC of 0.3% or less. However first license was only issued in June 2018, since then there has not been much progress in this filed. As on today there are more than 25 farmers holding the license for the cultivation of Industrial Hemp in Uttarakhand, but due to ambiguity in the laws governing the imports of seeds, farmers are not able to grow the Industrial Hemp. My personal opinion is that govt of Uttarakhand will loose the early entry advantage in case s
