How has the importance of hemp changed throughout history?
In many cultures around the world, the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa) played a crucial role and found many uses. For example, the first records of the use of hemp can be found in ancient China, where it was used for textile and medicinal purposes more than 5,000 years ago. The fibers, for example, were used to make clothing, ropes and even paper. Also, in traditional medicine hemp extracts already found their use.
Also, in other parts of the world, hemp was already valued in ancient times as an important fiber supplier for clothing and ship ropes. It was only over time that its medicinal and psychoactive properties were discovered, which in some cultures were used as a ritual and spiritual tool.
The plant also spread over time to Europe, where it served as an important crop during the Middle Ages. Its cultivation was mainly promoted for the production of clothing, canvas and ropes. Due to its psychoactive compounds, the hemp plant was banned as an intoxicant in some countries, eventually leading to its criminalization - controversially, as it continued to be cultivated for industrial purposes.
This image has changed again in recent decades when many countries have passed laws legalizing the cultivation of hemp plants for industrial and medicinal purposes. Today, the plants find their use in a wide variety of areas:
- • In agriculture as fertilizer or livestock feed,
- • as cosmetics or care products,
