Learning About Industrial Hemp
Welcome to the Learning About Industrial Hemp zone at Extra Terrestrial Trucking powered by ReloadCMS 1.2.7!

This site was created to share news and knowledge about Industrial Hemp because too many Americans don't understand the difference between it and other varieties that are not as good for industrial use (but better suited for medical and other uses). In the old days Industrial Hemp was primarily one strain (cannabis sativa) while medical hemp was another (cannabis indica), and now even some experts say they are the same, while our laws conflate them, depriving us of a very useful renewable resource.

Thanks largely to our mainstream tabloid media, all distinctions are conflated in the minds of too many citizens under the one tag of marijuana, and now, more than ever we need the facts to sort it all out. Our goals are to counter balance that conflation with a content portal consisting of archived and breaking articles, links to more info in the News section, and space for rational discussions and community sharing in the Forums.
