Hemp,
Inc. focuses strictly on Industrial Hemp products since it is allowed
to market in all fifty states and worldwide without any ambivalence
between state and Federal laws. By getting a foothold in, what many see
as the next American Industrial Revolution, the Industrial Hemp
industry, Hemp, Inc. (the only publicly traded company of its kind and
in its sector) will continue to be the Avant-garde of every category of
Industrial Hemp products.
The major market for Hemp is as a food or supplement as it is rich in protein, Omega fatty acids and has a high fiber content. Costco
carries hemp seeds, and Natural Grocers and Whole Foods Market stock
many brands of Hemp food products and supplements. The clothing industry
has targeted Hemp as a provocative niche market fabric. High fashion
designers Ralph Lauren and Versace make apparel from Hemp blended fabric. Footwear giants Vans and Adidas
make Hemp sneakers. Trendy companies market hemp T-shirts, hats,
jewelry, backpacks, even pet beds and leashes. Auto manufacturers use
durable, green Hemp composites and fabrics when feasible. Industrial
Hemp can also be used for building materials, plant based plastics, and
paper products.
Industrial
Hemp is cultivated much differently than marijuana. Marijuana is used
solely for its medical and psychoactive aspects, and growers strive for a
high THC content, although recent developments in Israel
indicate that medical researchers are more interested in the medicinal
value of its CBD content. Hemp, on the other hand, has a low THC
content. The main difference in cultivation between marijuana and
Industrial Hemp is that in cultivating marijuana, the plants are spaced
far apart, and the male plants are destroyed to assure that they cannot
seed the female plants, which would result in undesirable, less potent
and less marketable, seeded marijuana buds. Hemp, on the other hand, is
planted close together and commonly hermaphrodites, which creates an
abundance of seeds, the main component of Hemp foods and supplements.
The Hemp stalks are processed and used for fiber, composite, and other
hemp based end products.
Industrial
Hemp has long been known for its versatility, durability,
sustainability, and high-quality. Industrial Hemp grows quickly, in just
about any climate and doesn't require pesticides, while simultaneously
removing toxins found in soil. Industrial Hemp has been used for over
12,000 years and was once the primary fiber used to produce rope, paper,
canvas, and clothing in the United States and Europe.
Hemp was vilified then outlawed in the United States
because of its connection to marijuana. While it is currently illegal
Federally to grow industrial hemp plants in the U.S, countries including
China, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and England allow cultivation, and we can now reap Hemp's many benefits.
Hemp, Inc.'s TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE
Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP) seeks to benefit many constituencies, not exploit or endanger any group of them. Thus, the publicly-traded company believes in "upstreaming" of a portion of profit from the marketing of their finished hemp goods back to its originator. By Hemp, Inc. focusing on comprehensive investment results—that is, with respect to performance along the interrelated dimensions of people, planet, and profits— our triple bottom line approach can be an important tool to support sustainability goals.
