as accompanying the use of this drug arc due to stronger drugs mixed with Indian hemp. He regards liyoscyamus, opium and datura among others as the probable cause of the intoxicating effects. Anyone living in India acquainted with the legal restrictions under which Indian hemp is sold, both"wholesale and retail, will understand that large quantities of these drugs are purchased and consumed in ...

Hemp (Cannabis sativa) is an important fiber crop, and native cultivars exist widely throughout China. In the present study, we analyzed the genetic diversity of 27 important Chinese native hemp cultivars, by using inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSR) and chromosome markers. We determined the following chromosome formulas: 2n = 20 = 14m + 6sm; 2n = 20 = 20m; 2n = 20 = 18m + 2sm; 2n = 20 = 16m +...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The study aims to determine the nutritional value of hemp seed expressed by the oil content and by the concentration of metals (Ca, Mg, K, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cd), for five varieties of monoecious and dioecious hemp seeds approved in Romania, comparative with the concentration of these metals in the soil. RESULTS The content of oil in hempseed registers a slight decrease i...

The seed of Cannabis sativa L. is an expanding source of proteins and oil for both humans and animals. In this study, the proximate composition of a collection of hemp cultivars and accessions of different geographical origins grown under the same conditions for 1 year was analyzed in order to identify potential accessions to improve hemp cultivars. Fatty acids, tocopherols, and antinutritional...

Similarly, at the beginning of NAFGEN, the Canadian hemp industry was in its 10 year of commercial growth and had developed into a $20 million dollar industry. Most of the commercial growth to date had been driven by the vigorous seed sector, fuelled by demand in the health food and body care products sector. NAFGEN’s vision included laying the ground work for establishing value-added hemp fibr...

Green composites from polypropylene and lignin-based natural material were manufactured using a melt extrusion process. The lignin-based material used was the so called "liquid wood". The PP/"Liquid Wood" blends were extruded with "liquid wood" content varying from 20 wt % to 80 wt %. The blends were thoroughly characterized by flexural, impact, and dynamic mechanical testing. The addition of t...

The purpose of this research is to investigate the acoustic properties natural fibres and compare them with values achieved by common insulation materials used in construction buildings. Three based on biomass were for testing, namely cork, hemp fibreboard. From group conventional materials, mineral wool, propylat polyurethane foam selected. For determining sound absorption coefficient (α), abs...

Reinforcement with natural fibre has become a common place in range of industries the modern day. A polymer matrix can, however, boost strength reinforcing element. When it comes to fibres and polymers, they simply do not mix because their different hydrophobic hydrophilic properties. However, is designed be hydrophobic, are hydrophilic. This issue can now rectified alkalization silane binding ...

Traditional manufacture of hemp and hop textiles: Why botany agronomy matter Git Skoglund Abstract Documentation household textile plant cultivation is sparse has been largely overlooked in research. This especially true with (Cannabis) (Humulus). Existing references were rarely written by the growers themselves, this contributed to misunderstandings regarding terminology gender fibre identity....
