Hemp

Hemp is a fast-growing variety of the Cannabis plant with sturdy stalks and lush leaves, offering an array of practical applications. From textiles to paper, hemp fibres have been spun into durable fabrics and parchment-like sheets for hundreds of years, though only recently were specific cultivars grown to discourage concentrations of cannabinoids such as THC and CBD. In Oceanyka, industrial hemp cultivars were introduced and refined by puritan Christians, seeking to harness the commercial potential of hemp without the possibility of it being used to manufacture drugs.
