Say the word ‘hemp’ and most people think of hippies dressed in dungarees. And dope. The plant is a member of the cannabis sativa family, which marijuana also belongs to. What they’re less likely to realise is that while hemp actually contains only trace elements of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the ingredient in dope that makes you stoned, it is packed with an amazing amount of fatty acids, minerals and proteins that are fantastically good for you (so much so, one nutritionist I mentioned it to said a diet of hemp seed and water alone would be fairly healthy) one.

The above text was taken from an article in The Guardian telling the story of how Henry and Glynis Braham produced the “good oil” made from Hemp seeds. Link to full story below.
