The hemp plant is a versatile and fast-growing plant belonging to the cannabis family. It is cultivated for various purposes, including fiber, seeds, and oil. Hemp fibers are strong and durable, making them suitable for textiles, ropes, and construction materials. In addition to its industrial uses, hemp seeds are rich in nutrients and can be consumed as food or used to produce hemp oil. Unlike its cousin, marijuana, hemp contains low levels of THC, the psychoactive compound, making it non-intoxicating and legal in many regions.
