Canadian HEMP Association

Who are we?
A national organization to facilitate and promote the growth of
a hemp industry in Canada.
What is Hemp?
"Hemp is an alternative agricultural crop with significant
economic and environmental benefits for the Canadian
farming and Industrial communities."
Hemp, isn't that marijuana?
No.
Industrial hemp is a special low THC version
of the cannabis sativa plant grown for fiber and biomass.
It can not be used as an intoxicant.
Why Hemp?
Hemp is an alternative, renewable resource
capable of providing:
100% Tree-Free paper products.
All of our energy needs through biomass fuel production.
A stronger more durable textile, made from
100% natural fibers, grown without pesticides.
How can you help?
We are a non-profit environmental organization supported by
membership and donations from both the private and
business sector. Please join with us, and
help make a hemp industry in Canada, a reality.
