Many people don't realize that hempseed is edible.
Hemp foods are very nutritious and they are really delicious.
In many ways, hemp is where soy was 15 years ago, an offbeat product
with a funky reputation and overlooked nutritional value.
Hemp has been cultivated as food for more than 5,000 years,
like
soy, is a staple in Asian diets.

Although cannabis seed is considered safe,
it should not be taken for extended periods of time.

Hemp seeds are used for constipation associated
with dryness and yin deficiency.
The fiber is one of the most valuable parts of the hemp plant.
It is commonly called
bast, which refers to the fibers that grow
on the outside of the woody interior of the plant's stalk,
and under the most outer part (the bark).
For external use, the seeds can be ground to a flour and applied
as a poultice on sores and slow-healing wounds.
DOSE: 9-30 grams
MYTH: MARIJUANA POLICY IN THE NETHERLANDS IS A FAILURE.
Dutch law, which allows marijuana to be bought, sold, and used openly,
has resulted in increasing rates of marijuana use, particularly in youth.
FACT: The Netherlands' drug policy is the most nonpunitive in Europe.
For more than twenty years, Dutch citizens over age eighteen have been
permitted to buy and use cannabis (marijuana and hashish)
in government-regulated coffee shops.
This policy has not resulted in dramatically escalating cannabis use.
For most age groups, rates of marijuana use in the Netherlands are similar
to those in the United States.
However, for young adolescents, rates of marijuana use are lower
in the Netherlands than in the United States.
The Dutch people overwhelmingly approve of current cannabis policy
which seeks to normalize rather than dramatize cannabis use.
The Dutch government occasionally revises existing policy,
but it remains committed to decriminalization.
