The government of India / the people of India
1) The nectar of the hemp seed is not only edible but incredibly nutritious, complete with necessary essential fatty acids. Approximately 25% of the cannabis seeds weight is pure protein as well as a tremendous source of iron and calcium.hemp seeds contain more omega-3 oil than most other nuts, including that of walnuts.

2)Hemp for paper - One of the fastest growing renewable resources, hemp has been overshadowed by the lumber industry as the primary source for high cellulose pulp.

3)Environmentally friendly plastics - Henry Ford discovered early on that hemp makes an incredibly durable plastic like product, minus the need for fossil fuels.

4) Hemp for Construction materials - From hempcrete, for building a green foundation in your environmentally friendly house. To insulation, hemp is being utilized in all aspects of green construction across the globe.

5)Hemp for fabric - hemp has been used for thousands of years in the production of textiles. As inferior modern textiles fall apart if gazed upon for too long, there are several surviving examples of hemp fabric from China, dating back to 8000 BC.

With all these points in mind, we can truly change the way our not-so-well off brothers and sisters live their life. With the legality of the hemp seed, we can provide nutrition for the millions of hungry children all over the country and make sure India, the land of riches, is a truly a wonderful place to live and prosper.
