| | Since 1991, Hemp Basics and Hemp Supply have been at the forefront of the re-emergence of hemp as a viable commerical product that has not yet realized its full potential - despite having been in continuous use by mankind for over 6,000 years. We are constantly working to bring new wholesale and retail hemp products to market in an ecologically and socially responsible manner. Most recently we've been working with Nature's Perfect Oil and are able to offer their fine line of hemp seed oil (an organic one, too), gelcaps, and dressings as well as the Prarie Emerald line of Hemp foods including Protein Powder, as well as natural hemp oil body care products like shampoo, conditioner, body oil and other skin care products. Our company is working for a sustainable future by offering these natural alternative earth-friendly hemp textiles, bags, accessories, twine, cordage and rope from hemp fiber grown and produced responsibly and locally manufactured in adherenace to fair-trade practices and principles.
People the world over have known for thousands of years the value of the Hemp (Cannibis Sativa) plant, and have used it for everything from cordage and textiles to foodstuffs. Rope, fabrics, oils, seeds, insulation materials, paper, the list of products that can be made from Hemp is staggering. Effectively banned in America by the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937, this sustainable crop enjoyed a brief resurgence during World War II when the Federal government promoted the reintroduction of hemp to American farmers through its "Hemp for Victory" campaign. Since the end of that war, hemp has been supplanted by various petrochemical products as the raw material of choice for many products thereby contributing to the steady deterioration of the global environment that has occured during this same period. An unintended victim of America\'s "War on Drugs", this misunderstood cousin of the marijuana plant has continued to be cultivated in countries throughout Europe and Asia where it has remained not only a vital raw material for thousands of products, but has become an integral part of environmentally responsible and sustainable agriculture programs. |
