Hemp Body Care

Hemp body care is a superb way to keep the body healthy. Basically, all life is comprised of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen, making Plants (hemp being one of the best) a perfect base for body care.

Hemp can be used in soaps, shampoos, lotions and more. Hemp flowers can be used for fragrances, sunscreens, aromatherapy and topical, medicinal applications. Hemp is a great natural emollient and moisturizer. Hemp oil provides critical, Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) and Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) and is highly effective because its lipid constituents allow it to permeate through intact skin and nourish skin cells directly. It’s clinically proven to have biochemical, therapeutic and regenerative properties and an essential aid for promoting skin growth. Hemp can also help skin ailments, such as eczema and psoriasis. It relieves dry scalp and hair damage, while improving shine and manageability. Daily use of hemp soaps and moisturizers will help slow the effects of skin aging.

The Hemp plant is simply the Best in Body Care.

Most all body care products and cosmetics are made from mineral oils which are fossilized, dead carbon and toxic, petrochemicals. It’s like trying to revitalize our bodies with dead materials and toxins.

Packaged in Toxic, Petroleum-based Plastics is one of the many things wrong with most body care products.
Non-toxic, Biodegradable HEMP PLASTICS would be the perfect replacement.

Hemp Textiles

Hemp is the strongest and longest natural fiber. It's superior quality and ultimate strength makes it the best plant for textiles.

Hemp is so versatile, it can make numerous products like clothing, purses, backpacks, towels, sheets, diapers, rugs etc. You name it, hemp can make it. http://www.rawganique.com/

Hemp’s bast fibers (25 ft.) have 250% more fiber than cotton.
Hemp has a longer garment life than cotton. It can make the strongest rope
(Hemp was originally used to make rope, sails and tarps. http://hempstheticket.blogspot.com/2011/01/valuable-and-environmentally-friendly.html) to the finest lace and delicate enough to be woven together with silk. Hemp fibers block at least one half of sun’s UV rays, more than any other fabric. Cotton is whitened with chlorine bleach, hemp is whitened with hydrogen peroxide. Cotton requires heavy irrigation and is doused with more agricultural chemicals than any other commercial crop. Cotton has been engineered to handle the use of chemical pesticides and is nearly no longer a natural fiber.Hemp requires no pesticides, less water and is one of the most sustainable crops on earth.

 

Most textiles are made from pesticide- ridden cotton and toxic, petrochemical fibers. Hemp can replace all toxic, synthetic products, toxic chemicals and cotton products.
The strongest, synthetic fiber, nylon was created by Dupont the chemist, who studied the hemp fibers to replicate his own and he created toxic chemicals.

  Non-toxic, strongest, natural hemp fibers are the best.


 

Hemp Paper

Hemp Paper will replace Paper made from Trees.
Hemp has been used for paper around the world since 600 AD. Until the year 1883, we made 75-90% of our paper from hemp. Hemp paper was used for documents, money and books. The United States Constitution and the first two drafts of the Declaration of Independence were written on hemp paper. Benjamin Franklin used hemp in America’s first paper mill.

Hemp provides a better quality paper that outlives tree-based paper, around 2,000 years. Hemp’s long fibers allow it to be recycled several times over, unlike tree-based paper. Hemp paper does not require chlorine, to bleach it white. The hemp-paper process can be done the same as the wood-paper process but without all of the toxic chemicals.
One acre of hemp is comparable to four acres of trees. Trees reach maturity around 15 to 100+ years in comparison to hemp, which is 4-5 months.
Forests are being destroyed at 10,000 times the rate than they would be under natural conditions, and half of logging goes towards making paper, which ultimately ends up in landfills a short time later.
The paper products we use and dispose of on a daily basis is absolutely insane, such as food packaging, notebooks, magazines, cardboard boxes, so on and so on.

Hemp Paper makes the most sense.

Buy hemp paper products, recycle and consume less.

Building with Hemp is Stronger than the Rest

Hemp is the perfect candidate for numerous industrial applications and can be used to make a wide variety of building materials.

Hemp building materials endure lifetimes longer and are the strongest. It's lighter in weight, compared to building materials derived from trees. Hemp is more resistant to fire, fungi, rodents, termites and other pests than wood. Hemp composite board is 250% stronger and 300% more elastic than composite board made from processed wood chips and resins and is stronger than wood beams, studs and posts. Hemp replacements when stored properly will better resist deterioration than wood. It is completely unnecessary to use trees to build a house, when Hemp is in the picture.

Non-Toxic and Biodegradable, Hemp Plastics would be the perfect substitute for Toxic, Petroleum-based building materials like PVC piping and so on. http://hempstheticket.blogspot.com/2011/01/hemp-plastics-are-best.html 

Hemp can be used for a thermal and sound insulation which can replace dangerous fiberglass. It can also make caulk, plaster and similar products. Hemp blends well with lime to make a stronger, more flexible and a lighter concrete. It is better suited for withstanding natural disasters for instance, earthquakes. http://hemp-technologies.com/page15/page15.html  http://thehempbuilder.com/pictures

Hemp oil blends well with other natural substances, making high-quality, long lasting and non-toxic paints, lubricants, resins, shellacs, varnish and sealants. Most all paints, varnishes, etc. are made with toxic, petrochemicals. http://www.hempshield.net/

Driving with Hemp Construction:
Henry Ford used hemp fibers to help build his car and used hemp oil for fuel.
Ford demonstrated that his hemp cars were more resistant to blows from a sledgehammer than steel-bodied cars. In recent times, hemp cars are making a comeback.http://rense.com/general67/FORD.HTM  http://www.lotusecoelise.com/   

Building with Hemp is better than the rest.

Hemp Plastics are the Best!

Hemp Plastics are Biodegradable and Non-Toxic, Petroleum-based Plastics are Not.

Oil Corporations also sell their Oil for the production of Plastics. Petroleum Oil + Chemicals = Toxic, Non-Biodegradable, Petroleum-based Plastics.

Sound Familiar?

Plastic is anything moldable, pliant and supple. "The basic building blocks of plastics is cellulose, but petrochemical compositions are not the only way to derive plastics". Hemp has a high volume of cellulose, around 77-85%, therefore, making it one of the best plants for making plastics. "The possibilities are endless with hemp plastics and resins and bio composites". "Virtually any shape and purpose can be fulfilled by bio composite plastics...biodegradable, non-toxic products are always the wisest choice for (now and) the future". Hemp Plastics will greatly reduce the amount of Petroleum-based Plastics polluting the planet, without the loss of performance. A Non-Renewable Resource, Petroleum-based Plastics are Toxic and Non-Biodegradable. A Renewable Resource, Hemp is Non-Toxic and Biodegradable.

In the 1940's, began the mass production of petroleum-based plastics. The most recent and long lasting changes to the planet is plastic. Around 300 billion pounds of plastic and counting will be produced around the world annually. A lot of plastics are lightweight, inexpensive and single use items that will go to the landfills within a year. Think of all the plastic products we produce and use daily. How about plastic bags, which are produced and disposed of quickly. In the US, an estimated 12 million barrels of oil are needed in the manufacture of plastic bags alone, causing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to build up in the atmosphere. And to think, that's just plastic bags. Along with plastic bags, are bottles, food wrappers, building materials, toys, home décor... just to name a few; drowning in a world of plastic.

Not only are we polluting the air and land, but the oceans as well. In the North Pacific ocean there is a graveyard of plastics, twice the size of the United States, known as the Northern Pacific Gyre. It is the result of the oceans currents concentrating floating plastics into a large island of plastic waste. Few people are aware of this because of its remote location. Out of sight out of mind. There are five of these Gyres throughout the oceans and the problem is growing. Presently, there are 42 pounds of plastic for every pound of plankton and increasing in the center of the Pacific Ocean. A wasteland of plastic is eventually food for wildlife; the small, shiny pieces of plastic look like something good to eat. Plastics are also absorbed into the food chain and sink to become part of the ocean floor, as well. Toxic, plastic debris can survive for thousands of years and serves as mini transportation devices for invasive species, disrupting habitats, an ecological disaster poisoning and injuring wildlife. Petroleum-based Plastic Pollution is not good for human health or the environment.

Lending a warm and welcoming hand, Non-toxic and Biodegradable Hemp Plastic can replace Toxic, Petroleum- based Plastic, as we know it today. One of our safest and best options is Hemp Plastic. http://www.hempplastic.com/ 

    
                                                   
                            THE SEVEN CATAGORIES OF PLASTIC

   If you were to look on the bottom of plastic containers most have the recycling symbol,  a triangle with arrows, and in the middle is a number, one through seven, used for cataloging recyclables. The resin identification codes associated with the type of plastic used in the container also indicate the different types of plastic "considered safe or not" available to the public. Some plastics are "healthier and easier to recycle".


The number guide provided by Daily Green:


#1 plastics -PET or PETE (polyethylene terephthalate)


Found in: Soft drinks, water, beer bottles; mouthwash bottles; peanut butter
containers; salad dressing and vegetable oil containers; ovenable food trays.



Recycling: Picked up by most curbside recycling programs.


PET plastic is the most common for single-use bottled beverages, because it is
inexpensive, lightweight and easy to recycle. It poses low risk of leaching
breakdown products.


#2 plastics HDPE (highly density polyethylene)


Found in: Milk jugs, juice bottles; bleach, detergent and household cleaner
bottles; shampoo bottles; some trash and shopping bags; motor oil bottles;
butter and yogurt tubs; cereal box liners



Recycling: Picked up through most curbside recycling programs, although
some allow only those containers with necks.


HDPE is a versatile plastic with many uses, especially for packaging. It carries
low risk of leaching and is readily recyclable into many goods.


#3 plastics- V (vinyl) or PVC


Found in: Window cleaner and detergent bottles, shampoo bottles, cooking oil
bottles, clear food packaging, wire jacketing, medical equipment, siding,
windows, piping


Recycling: Rarely recycled; accepted by some plastic lumber makers.
PVC contains chlorine, so its manufacture can release highly dangerous dioxins.
If u must cook with PVC, don't let the plastic touch the food. Also never burn
PVC, because it releases toxins."
  
   Harvard-educated Dr. Leo Trasande of the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine advises
consumers to avoid number 3 plastic for food and drinks. (If you're unsure,
look for the little symbol that should be printed on the container. Some brands
have left the symbols off, which is a major problem.)


   The risk is highest when containers start wearing out, are put through the
dishwasher or when they are heated (included microwaved). PVC
manufacturing can release highly toxic dioxins into the environment, and the
materials can off-gas toxic plasticizers into your home.


#4 plastics (low density polyethylene)


Found in: Squeezable bottles; bread, frozen food, dry cleaning and shopping
bags; tote bags; clothing; furniture; carpet



Recycling: LDPE is not often recycled through curbside programs, but some
communities will accept it. Plastic shopping bags can be returned to many
stores for recycling.


#5 PP (polypropylene)


Found in: Some yogurt containers, syrup bottles, ketchup bottles, caps,
straws, medicine bottles


Recycling: Number 5 plastics can be recycled through some curbside programs.


Polypropylene has a high melting point, and so is often chosen for containers
that must accept hot liquid. It is gradually becoming more accepted by
recyclers.


#6 plastics PS (polystyrene)


Found in: Disposable plates and cups, meat trays, egg cartons, carry-out containers number 6 plastics are made into soft Styrofoam-style cups as well as rigid foams and hard plastic products,


Avoid using them as much as possible.
Why? number 6 plastics can release potentially toxic breakdown products
(including styrene). Insulated coffee cup when heated --doesn't seem so smart anymore does it?


#7 plastics miscellaneous


Found in: Baby bottles, three- and five-gallon water bottles, certain food
containers.
  
 A wide range of plastic resins that don't fit into the other six categories are
lumped into number 7. Some are quite safe (I doubt that) but the ones to
worry about are the hard polycarbonate varieties, as found in various drinking
containers (like Nalgene bottles) and rigid plastic baby bottles.


Avoid them as much as possible

Why? Studies have shown polycarbonate can leach bisphenol A, a potential
hormone disruptor, into liquids. According to Trasande, no level of BPA is
known to be truly safe, and in August a government panel expressed 'some
concern' that the ingredient causes neural and behavioral problems in children.
Why not play it safe and swap out those hard plastic baby and water bottles
for Number 1, 5 or corn-based plastics, or even shatter-resistant glass? 


             Or even better, how about HEMP PLASTICS? http://www.hempplastic.com/  http://www.hemp.com/hemp-university/uses-of-hemp/hemp-plastics/

History of the Hemp and Marijuana Conspiracy

Hemp is not Marijuana. The THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocanabinol) levels in hemp are generally around 0.3% or less. The THC levels in medical marijuana are generally around 15% and above. Contrary to popular belief, smoking hemp will not get a person high. It's physically impossible. Hemp and Marijuana are two entirely different plants, but of the same species. http://hempstheticket.blogspot.com/2011/01/cannabis-hemp-also-known-as-industrial.html   

The Study of the Hemp Fiber by the US's Largest Chemical Company, DuPont, Produced and Patented the First Synthetic Fiber, Rayon, their Plastics, (Celluloid, Acetate, etc.) and the duplication of these fibers produced Nylon, the Strongest Synthetic Fiber. DuPont also Produced the Chemicals that makeup Synthetic Varnishes and Paints, and the Chemicals used in the Wood- Paper Process. "The Chemist has Aided in Conserving Nature by developing Synthetic products to supplement or Wholly Replace Natural products, said Lammont DuPont, company president". 

"After the 1937 Marijuana Tax law, new DuPont “plastic fibers,” under license since 1936 from the German company I.G. Farben (patent surrenders were part of Germany’s World War I reparation payments to America), replaced natural HEMPEN fibers. (Some 30% of I.G. Farben, under HITLER ( http://t.co/vjNmlgQ ) was owned and financed by America’s DuPont). DuPont also introduced Nylon (invented in 1935) to the market after they’d patented it in 1938".

In 1938, Popular Mechanics described Hemp as the "New Billion Dollar Crop"

The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937, was a "Significant Bill on the path that led to the Criminalization of Cannabis." DuPont patented Nylon, Strongest Synthetic Fiber (Hemp is the Strongest Natural Fiber) including Petroleum- based Plastics (Hemp will make Non-Toxic and Biodegradable Plastics) the Chemicals used to make Varnish and Paint (Hemp will make Non-Toxic, Varnish, Paints, etc.) and the Chemical process of making Paper from Wood (Hemp will make Paper and Building materials). 

Curious, how DuPont was able to research and synthetically duplicate the hemp fibers and in the same year, it became illegal to grow hemp. During this time, hemp production was on it’s way to a very lucrative market and in order for DuPont to continue his ultimate success, he would have to block the rights of American farmers to grow hemp and deny the people the opportunity for research. Prosperity and small business would have flourished throughout the US and the world, but this would have left, less money and power for the world’s largest Chemical Company, DuPont. Too convenient for DuPont, why not classify cannabis species of hemp into the cannabis species known as marijuana because of the similar leaf shape and the THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocanabinol, the active ingredient in marijuana) likeness which tied everything together, but the percentage of THC in hemp is basically non-existent compared to marijuana. In recent times, the cultivation of hemp is in the hands of the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration).
                                                      
Hemp also threatened the corporate interests of William Randolph Hearst. Hearst owned vast timber acreage and competition from the hemp industry would have cost him millions, leading his paper manufacturing business out the door. Because of DuPont’s patent for the chemicals used for the wood-paper process, meant he would make money from Hearst and Hearst would continue to make money by saving his Tree-Killing Business. Hearst's newspaper (yellow journalism) helped out with the hemp and marijuana mix-up, advertising untruths while demonizing marijuana as a violent drug. The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937, was introduced to U.S. Congress by the commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, Harry Anslinger. The Act placed an "extremely high tax on marijuana and made it effectively impossible to grow Industrial Hemp". The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937, also included that hemp farmers and merchants in the United States, be subject to "penalty provisions and elaborate rules of enforcement" for cultivation and manufacture of marijuana, cannabis or Hemp. A fine administered by the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 could be around “2,000 dollars and five years imprisonment". This fine was absolutely ridiculous. http://hempstheticket.blogspot.com/2011/01/valuable-and-environmentally-friendly.html 
 
During WWII, the Japanese cut off U.S. sources of “Manila Hemp” (not true hemp), so the U.S. Army and U.S Department of Agriculture promoted a film called “Hemp for Victory” to help win the war. Because of needed supplies for the war efforts, hemp was grown commercially, facilitated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, despite escalating interference from the government. And in the 1950's, hemp had been "effectively prohibited" around the end of WWII. While Congress expressly expected the continued production of industrial hemp, the Federal Bureau of Narcotics mixed in hemp with marijuana. The DEA was the following federal agency to continue this charade. In the Controlled Substance Act of 1970, marijuana and hemp were included once again as a narcotic. 

The Creation of DuPont’s Petro-chemically-based Fibers, which are a Synthetic Copy of Hemp Fibers, led to the development of Toxic, Non-biodegradable, Petroleum-based Plastics (Hemp Plastics are Biodegradable and Non-Toxic). Petrochemicals used for Paints and Varnish, etc. (Hemp can be used to make Non-Toxic Paints and Varnish, etc.) We are world based on Petrochemical Activity. The Chemicals that are required for the Wood- Paper process (Hemp Paper does Not require harsh Chemicals and Saves Trees) has led to the Destruction of Trees. This is the Environmental Catastrophe that We Face Right Now.

The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937, since when did Industrial Hemp become Marijuana?

History of Hemp

Hemp has been a part of history throughout the entire world. Archeological records show hemp as a cultivated crop and the worlds largest agricultural crop through the 1800’s. In 3750 BC, farmer and philosopher, Shen Nung, was one of the earliest Chinese founders of civilization to advocate the use of hemp as a fiber. The first woven fabric was made from hemp fibers around 7,000 BC. Most all ship’s sails in history were made from hemp. In America, hemp was mostly used at home in local commerce. In 1619, at Jamestown Colony of Virginia, farmers were required to make use of hemp. Hemp cultivation was mandatory by law in Massachusetts in 1631, Connecticut in 1632 and the Chesapeake Colonies into the mid- 1700’s. During that time, it was one of the most widely used plants on earth.  From 1631 until the early 1800’s, hemp was equivalent to money in most of America and it could be used to pay taxes for over 200 years. The first American flags were made with hemp. Henry Ford’s first car ran on hemp oil. Not only did Ford take advantage of a clean energy source, he also built his car with hemp fibers. Ford demonstrated that his cars made from hemp were more resistant to blows from a sledgehammer than steel-bodied cars.

 It “far exceeds any other crop. Make the most of the Indian hemp seed. Sow it everywhere”. -George Washington.

Hemp is not a new crop with an unknown market in America; hemp was the foundation of our country.

The Beauty of Hemp

Hemp is one of the most important and unique plants on earth. Hemp is so versatile and can affect our daily lives in so many positive ways and has a direct impact on earth.

Hemp Paper will replace Tree-based paper
Hemp Plastics which are Non-Toxic and Biodegradable will replace Toxic and Non-Biodegradable, Petroleum-based Plastics
Hemp Body Care and Hemp Cleaning products will replace products made with petrochemicals and other toxic substances
Hemp varnish, paints and other similar products will replace products made with petrochemicals and other toxic substances
Hemp Textiles will replace pesticide- ridden Cotton and Toxic, Synthetic fibers
Hemp Building Materials will replace Trees and Toxic and Non-Biodegradable, Petroleum-based Plastics and other toxic substances
Hemp Foods provide superb nutrition and have the highest volume of EFAs (essential fatty acids) which are required for basic body function.
Hemp is a Renewable, Clean Energy source. Hemp will produce Fuel Oils, Ethane for Gasoline and Methane for Electricity

“Never has a more perfect solution been available to solve so many of the world’s problems”. Hemp Rules

The Hemp Plant

Hemp is also known as Industrial Hemp and is a distinct variety of the plant species, cannabis sativa L.

 

Hemp is harvested for its long bast fibers, medium fibers, short core fibers, seed, seed meal and seed oil.

 

Hemp is an annual, herbaceous crop. It grows in almost any climate and on a wide range of soil that most other plants would not survive. The roots of the hemp plant strengthen the soil which prevents erosion, unlike food crops. Hemp grows best on land that produces high yields of corn. (Most corn is genetically engineered (GMOs) patented by Monsanto who also manufacture pesticides, etc. These chemicals and GMOs are not good for human consumption or the planet) Farmers use hemp as a natural insect repellent, so the use of insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and pesticides are unnecessary. Hemp is strong enough to ward off the few pests which are attracted to it. (Unnatural farming methods presently are economically and environmentally unsustainable). The soil has to be well drained  (no high water requirement) and rich in nitrogen and non-acidic. When the growing cycle is complete, the leaves which contain valuable nutrients fall off and return back to the soil, making it a great plant for crop rotation. Hemp plants grow so close together, they simply choke out weeds by cutting them off from sunlight making the field weed- free for the next cash crop.

 

Hemp’s bast fibers are similar to other bast fibers like flax, kenaf, jute and ramie. Hemp surpasses all natural fibers in length, around 25 ft. and strength with the most durability, absorbency, anti-mildew and antimicrobial properties.

Hemp grows with more efficiency and speed than any other plant except bamboo. Hemp can grow 6 ft. in about 2 weeks and grows from seed to maturity in 4-5 months.

Hemp is one of the best plants for us and our environment.
