certain countries the Cannabis plant has been
identified as a dangerous drug and has been
killed off by human beings and law enforcement
officials. It is treated as a weed and as a
plant that causes social, mental and physical
problems. None of these reasons for removing
the plant are well founded but the cull of

plant to create clothing and other materials.

the late 1800’s. Hemp fabric products will last
longer than cotton fabric products thus the
