Hemp is a fiber that is woven into fabric, rope, sails, paper and other products.

Hemp comes from the stalk and seed oil of cannabis sativa, the marijuana plant, which is the most predominately known hemp provider.

However, there are other plants, that also yield hemp, which are:

sanseveria yielding bowstring-hemp

agave sisalana yielding sisal-hemp

apocynum cannabinum yielding Indian-hemp

Musa textilis, a species of banana, yielding Manila-hemp or abaca.

Sholeh Patrick of the Hagadone News Network clarifies in his article, "All You Need To Know About Hemp It's not what you think it is", the difference between illegal drug practices with the marijuana plant and hemp users.

He describes that "illegal drug users select leaves and flowery tips, as well as different growing practices from hemp users. That's where the link ends."

He further identifies, "The key chemical component that makes one a drug and the other a safe product is the level of THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol. In marijuana, THC content runs 15 to 20 percent. For hemp, it’s about three tenths of a percent."

Hemp originated during the New Stone Age, 6,000-15,000 B.C. in the Middle East and China. Hemp was the first fiber crop that was grown for textile purposes. It was used for rope, twine, and fishnet.

Hempmuseum.org reports, "Herodotus, a Greek historian, noted that skillful Scythians and Thracians in the fifth century B.C. were able to weave fine cloth from hemp. In medieval Europe, hemp was used to make underclothing and household linen. Throughout history hemp has been more widely used in the countryside than in towns, because every farm had its own field of hemp."

Hempmuseum.org further solidifies the early existence of hemp by depicting a picture of a Chinese symbol for hemp that dates back 4,700 years ago. It depicts a man and woman in a drying shed which is used for fibers.

The hempmuseum.org mentions that a "Chinese man, Ts-ai Lun in 105 A.D. originated paper making by softening the bark of trees, hemp waste, old rags (hemp), and fish nets (hemp) in a stone mortar into a pulp until it resembled paper. "

John Adams assisted in drafting the Articles of Confederation, the first United States Constitution, on hemp paper. Of further importance, Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution on hemp paper according to home.earthlink.net

Thomas Jefferson and George Washington grew hemp. They vocalized the vitalness of hemp. Thomas Jefferson stated, "Hemp is the first necessity to the commerce and the marine, in other words, to the wealth and protection of the Country."
