Wait, what? As I suspected all along. It’s cannabis. Marijuana. Weed. Err, HEMP. Tracing the origins of the word hemp back to the Greek “kannabis”, the Dutch “hennep”, the German “hanf”, and let’s not forget the English “hemp”, modeled more after the Dutch and German influence or vice versa. Kannabis, or Cannabis as it is now spelled as the norm, is still in clear association. That definition isn’t entirely accurate. Marijuana. Well both derived from the Cannabis Sativa L. plant, there is one key distinction. Its extremely low presence of delta-9 THC. No not the company Delta 9 Cannabis Inc. (TSXV: NINE), the compound. Health Canada has recognized 0.3% in dry weight as the maximum for hemp food ingredients. Fibre forms of hemp do not have a maximum as they are not consumed. Fibre forms? Yes! And medicine too! So, did my hemp protein way back when have medical properties too? Well no. The stalks and grain do not have medical properties. Its in the oil. CBD oil … you may have heard of it.
