As the debate continues in the news on whether to legalize cannabis, The Hemp Handbook aims to demythologize hemp and its by-products. Informed and well researched, the book explores the long history of hemp, and its uses as a healing substance, showing how the plant has much to offer as a renewable resource. The book includes recipes for cosmetics and healthy food, using both hemp seed and hemp seed oil. It investigates the medical benefits to patients with AIDS, cancer, glaucoma and Multiple Sclerosis and as an appetite stimulant, as well as its potential as fibre for paper, clothing, and insulation. The Hemp Handbook is essential reading for anyone seeking a balanced understanding of this topical issue.

The Hemp Handbook,
By MaX (unknown) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hemp Handboook (Paperback)
The Hemp Handbook, by Gisela Schreiber, is a book about the wonderful plant, hemp (cannabis). It tells about how it is great for the body, the environment, clothes, medicine, and pleasure for the dope smoker. Did you know that hemp paper can save the lives of millions of trees a year?; and a pair of hemp jeans will last almost a lifetime instead of a few years. Yes, hemp can be used to help the environment, make better clothes, healthy food, fuel, plastics, buildings, paint, paper, and natural medicines (no man-made stuff!). It is a book well worth reading. I really enjoyed reading it.
