It is a plant of the family of Cannabis sativa cultivars that are planted specifically for industrial and therapeutic purposes. Like bamboo, hemp is also one of the fastest-growing plant species on Earth. The history of hemp use goes back to 50,000 years ago when it was first used to make usable fiber. It can now be derived for many applications and in items such as paper, rope, textiles, clothing, environment-friendly plastics, paint, insulation, biofuel, food, and animal feed. The legality of Hemp depends on the concentrations of total Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which is the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis. If the THC content is higher, one can feel euphoria and a sense of relaxation. As psychoactive effects are subjective experiences, it varies from person to person. Some can feel heightened sensory perception, behavioral changes, changes in perception of time, and an abnormal appetite. However, Hemp has a lower content of THC but a higher content of cannabidiol (CBD), which neutralizes the psychoactive effects of THC. The legal status of hemp is different from state to state. Some authorities regulate the content of THC and allow only hemp with low THC concentrations for industrial production.
