Hemp has been cultivated by many cultures for thousands of years. It produces
fibre which can be made into paper, fuel, oils, textiles, food, and rope. For centuries,
it was essential to the economies of many countries because it was used to make
the ropes and cables used on sailing ships; colonial expansion and the establishment
of a world-wide trading network would not have been feasibie without hemp.
Nowadays, ships‘ cables are usually made from wire or synthetic fibres, but scientists
are now suggesting that the cultivation of hemp should be revived for the production
of paper and pulp. According to its proponents, four times as much paper can be
produced from land using hemp rather than trees, and many environmentalism
believe that the large-scale cultivation of hemp could reduce the pressure on
Canada's forests.
