Hemp Is Healthy: Surprising Health Benefits of Hemp

We hear a lot these days about the medicinal benefits of marijuana, which were given hardly any attention just a few decades ago.
We used to treat marijuana as a dangerous drug that either makes its users lazy or encourages them to try harder drugs that are actually dangerous and addicting. While that kind of propaganda is still alive and well, the world is slowly realizing that marijuana can actually be good for the human body.
It would’ve been nearly impossible to get someone to acknowledge or accept this a short time ago, but with the power of the internet and alternative media, knowledge of the health benefits of cannabis has spread to the most skeptical corners of society.
Well-known doctors are coming out in favor of medical marijuana, and people are realizing it was a mistake to ignore scientifically proven facts and countless anecdotal accounts of how the plant has helped people.
The world is changing its stance on marijuana, but for this article, I’d like to put the spotlight on its cousin, hemp. Hemp is not an intoxicant, which means you can’t get high from it, but it’s illegal in the U.S. just like marijuana.
