Hemp seed is nutritious and contains more essential fatty acids than any other source, is second only to soybeans in complete protein (but is more digestible by humans), is high in B-vitamins, and is a good source of dietary fiber. Hemp seed is not psychoactive and cannot be used as a drug. Hemp is among the oldest industries on the planet, going back more than 10,000 years to the beginnings of pottery. The Columbia History of the World states that the oldest relic of human industry is a bit of hemp fabric dating back to approximately 8,000 BC. Cannabis is the only plant
genus in which can be found the unique class of molecules known as
cannabinoids. Cannabis produces two major cannabinoids-THC
(delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol), and several other
minor cannabinoid compounds. THC is responsible for the
psychoactive effect. That was demonstrated conclusively in the 1960s. CBD,
on the other hand, has recently been shown to block the effect of THC in the
nervous system. Cannabis strains of the type
used for industrial purposes have relatively high levels of CBD versus THC.
Drug strains are high in THC and low to intermediate in CBD.
Smoking hemp, high in CBD and very low in THC, actually has the effect of
preventing the marijuana high. Even when the amount of THC in a
sample is as high as 2 percent, the psychological high is blocked by as
little as 2 percent CBD. Cannabis with THC below 1.0 percent and a CBD/THC ratio greater than one is therefore not capable of inducing a psychoactive effect. Hemp, it turns out, is not only not marijuana, it could be called "antimarijuana."
