HEMP | HEMP • FROM FIBER TO COMPOST “THE SOLUTION FOR THE ENVIRONMENT”

The question we ask everyone: Do you know why cannabis is still illegal in many places and why it was illegal for so many years? We know that cannabis was once even recommended in community pharmacies, used by millions of families around the world, used for construction materials, animal feed, fuel, textiles, compost, fibers, among thousands of other uses, and suddenly, it became an illegal drug, as harmful and dangerous as crack, if not more so.

Cannabis has four main species, all of which share the name Cannabis sativa: Cannabis sativa sativa, Cannabis sativa indica, Cannabis sativa ruderalis, and Cannabis sativa hemp. While all four are important and useful for many things, this time we'll focus on hemp. Hemp is the species that cannot be used to obtain a psychoactive effect, as it contains 0.03% or less THC. However, it can be used to create all sorts of things, such as fireproof hemp concrete, hemp fuel, clothing, shoes, and thousands more. The key solution to the biggest problem affecting our world today—PLASTIC—could be made from hemp. Imagine a world where everything around you is made of biodegradable materials for when needed, and other highly resistant materials, all from responsible sources and without harming the environment. Everything made from wood, nylon, cotton, plastic, fuel, and concrete can be replaced by hemp. Hemp fiber is superior and stronger than the strongest wood available, and its production process is considerably less expensive.

1 Tree – 13-15 years to be able to be processed.

1 Hemp Tree: 6 Months and you get up to 200% more material.

Global plastic production is choking our oceans, lands, and cities; we have a responsibility to make a change and save our planet. The cannabis industry is contributing to this plastic pollution, and it is imperative that we find a viable solution for everyone. Let's support the planting and industrial production of hemp in Puerto Rico, and extend that to new businesses creating hemp-based products, bags, containers, and plastics.

It affects us all!
