Bowstring Hemp

An Introduction to Industrial Hemp, Hemp Agronomy, and UK Agronomic Hemp Research

Reviving hemp.

A method is described enabling the direct measurement of vincristine resistance in intact tissues in vivo by morphological study. Using the metaphase arresting properties of the drug, counts were made of escaping anaphase and telophase mitotic figures at a range of doses. The proportion of post-metaphase mitotic figures is called the post-metaphase index (PMI). In 95 primary intestinal tumours ...

hemp, and flax composites

This study characterizes the acoustical behavior of natural fiber composites. Regenerated cellulose fibers (Lyocell), hemp fibers, and flax fibers were embedded in an epoxy-matrix. These unidirectional composites were tested for their logarithmic damping decrement, the resonance frequency, the ultrasound velocity, the dynamic and static modulus of elasticity, and bending strength and density. G...

Indian Hemp: A Social Menace

and a barrister, writes with a sense of urgency which is appalled by the complacency and ignorance of the medical profession. He begins with a brief survey of Indian hemp through history, and discusses the rapid increase of its American relative marihuana since 1935 : his view is that there is an even more recent, but disturbingly quick, spread now going on in this country; while annual prosecu...

Industrial hemp decreases intestinal motility stronger than indian hemp in mice.

BACKGROUND Indian hemp has shown beneficial effects in various gastrointestinal conditions but it is not widely accepted due to high content of tetrahydrocannabinol resulting in unwanted psychotropic effects. AIM Since industrial hemp rich in cannabidiol lacks psychotropic effects the aim of research was to study the effects of industrial hemp on intestinal motility. MATERIALS AND METHODS A...
