By now, most people have heard about the medical uses for the cannabis plant. However, many people may not realize how versatile the list of consumer uses for the plant has become. Hemp is an easy to grow crop, and every single part of the plant, from the seeds to the stalk can be used to make consumer products. The seeds are a super food of nutrition for human and animals. Hemp seed oil can be used to make environmentally friendly personal hygiene products. The stalks can be used to make fibers for clothing, paper, and more. Below is a list of highly recommended hemp products that demonstrate the versatility of the hemp plant.
