 "There is abundant information to be found on the Internet on the history and present uses of hemp products.
Hemp had been cultivated for thousands of years, and by 1937, it was being used to produce over 25,000 products. It has been described as the most useful plant known to man. Various sources state that hemp can be used to make virtually anything that is currently made from cotton, timber, or petroleum. Hemp is an easily and quickly grown annual crop, and therefore a perpetually renewable resource. But, this was a problem, as some interests saw it."- Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.) |
 "Smoking is the most common method of consuming the various hemp products (Knecht 1971). Hemp leaves, the female flowers (ganja), or bits of the sticky, aromatic resin (charas) are stuffed into a chillum, either alone or mixed with thorn apple leaves (Datura metel), henbane (Hyos-cyamus niger), aconite (Aconitum ferox, Aconitum spp.), or tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum). The chillum, a symbol and an attribute of Shiva, is then held to the forehead and consecrated to the god with the words Bum Shankar, "hail to the benefactor" (Morningstar 1985)."- Christian Ratsch, The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants: Ethnopharmacology and Its Applications (Get the book.) "Yuba Gold In the international herb trade, one can even find finished herbal blends based upon hemp products.

It consists of: Korean ginseng leaves (Panaxginseng) damiana (Turnera diffusa!" - Christian Ratsch, The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants: Ethnopharmacology and Its Applications (Get the book.) "In medieval Islamic society, hemp products were used primarily as sacred plants to support meditation in various Sufi and dervish orders. The plant became so closely identified with its mystical use by the Sufis that it became known as the "hashish of the poor" [= Sufis] (Rosenthal 1971,13). In South Africa, where the plant is known as dagga, hemp is now usually smoked for hedonistic purposes. In times past, however, it played an important role in numerous tribal rituals (Du Toit 1958,1975,1980; Morleyand Bensusan 1971; Watt 1961)." - Christian Ratsch, The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants: Ethnopharmacology and Its Applications (Get the book.) "To produce more profound psychedelic effects, hemp products may be combined with belladonna (Atropa belladonna) and fly agaric mushrooms (Amanita muscaria) (belladonna and Coltsfoot leaves (Tussilago farfara) were once smoked as a tobacco substitute. Today, they are often mixed with hashish and used in medicinal and psychoactive smoking blends. (Woodcut from Tabernaemontanus, Neu Vollkommen Krciuter-Buch, 1731) fly agaric mushrooms have a positive synergy). Kitchen spices, coca leaves (Erythroxylum coca), and Ephedra herbage can be used for refreshing and invigorating effects." - Christian Ratsch, The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants: Ethnopharmacology and Its Applications (Get the book.) |

| "This trend will continue as more manufacturers find uses for hemp products. Consumer response to hemp products has been warm.
Hemp Today was written as the hemp industry was being reborn. Most of the reports will remain current for only a few years. Yet it serves an extremely important service: to present a realistic assessment of hemp and the hemp industry now and in the near future. The fact that the writers disagree is actually a positive sign. It shows an industry growing large enough to accommodate widely divergent views and perspectives." - Ed Rosenthal, Hemp Today (Get the book.) |
