A Brief History of Hemp in India
The presence of hemp in India goes back roughly 3400 years. Ayurvedic teachings and texts regard hemp as one of 5 sacred plants recorded and revered in the Vedas. Hemp has been used for a variety of purposes in the past, but it was most commonly used in traditional medicine to treat countless ailments and maladies. Over the last few decades, hemp has been unjustly convicted of being a drug, later proving its innocence and benefits, and finally using research and science to fight its way towards acceptance as a holistic, versatile, and beneficial herb without any psychoactive properties; officially proving it is not a drug.

What Separates Industrial Hemp from Medical Cannabis?
Hemp
Industrial Hemp contains nil to minimal THC (chemical compound which induces intoxication). However, hemp leaves contain minor phytocannabinoids, but the seeds do not have any traces of phytocannabinoids.
Industrial Hemp is 100% legal in India and is primarily used in industries such as nutrition, clothing, cosmetics, sustainable body-care, holistic wellness, bio-plastics, bio-fuels, building materials and more.
Industrial Hemp plants are resilient and adaptable. They flourish in most soil and weather conditions.
Marijuana
Medical Cannabis contains THC, which induces a state of intoxication upon the user. It is regarded as a Psychoactive Substance and banned in India for recreational use, but allowed for medical use under certain licenses.
Medical Cannabis is presently restricted in India, and is permitted exclusively with a license only for research & medicinal purposes under bhang licenses in few states of India. However, it is used recreationally in countries where it has been made legal due to its countless benefits.
As opposed to its misunderstood cousin hemp, Medical Cannabis requires organic soil and nutrients for healthy growth.
