Hemp (from Old English hænep) is a commonly used term for high-growing varieties of the Cannabis plant and its products, which include fiber, oil, and seed. Hemp is refined into products such as hemp seed foods, hemp oil, wax, resin, rope, cloth, pulp, paper, and fuel.

Other variants of the herb Cannabis are widely used as a drug, commonly known as marijuana. These variants are typically low-growing and have higher content of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), and other cannabinoids. The legality of Cannabis varies widely from country to country, and from state to state in the United States. In many countries regulatory limits for concentrations of psychoactive drug compounds, particularly THC, in hemp require the use of strains of the plant which are bred for low content.[1]

Zuma, I don't know much about hemp but it is a natural material. So I would not be afraid to us it. Now I'm not sure about a bow string. You would have to do several breaking test. I think It is cool and I would use it in any project that called for some type of cordage. Patrick

Zuma, I use hemp cord for handle wraps. It is very strong but not uniform in diameter. I buy it from Wally World in a 1# ball and it comes in a light tan and a light brown color. I first started using hemp cordage on a bow I built that was spliced in the handle but also bends in the handle so the riser kept popping off. After beefing up the handle area a bit I wrapped it with hemp cord and saturated with Massey finish. The handle never popped off again and I now use it for most of my handle wraps.
 Hemp has been grown in the US since WWI. It was used for making rope. Now days it is used for all sorts of things from food to cloths like said above. This hemp was bred for its fibers, the other kind was bread for it's intoxicating resins.

Pat Thanks,
I was going to tell you where I know there is tons of it growing wild.
Left over from the big time manufacturing stuff like you posted about.
But I see a market blooming for it right here before my eyes.
What you guys got for trade?? Oh, crap now my inbox is full up.

Hemp was banned from the US until this year. Colorado allows the growing of it. Some larger supplement companies that are based out of the US had to buy foreign grow hemp for protein powders until this year.
