Long squandered as one of the Earth’s more valuable and renewable resources, hemp is making a full-throated comeback in the 21st century. Historically maligned by the likes Harry J. Anslinger and his group of industrial malcontents, this not-too-distant cousin of medical marijuana is in everything from healthy salads to environmentally friendly building materials.
As a means of honoring one of Nature’s most awe-inspiring plants, we present to you a quick list of incredible ways for the modern consumer to hike with it, do yoga on it, run with it, or simply provide a stylish and green home for your family with it. Much more than a way to appear hippy chic, the hemp variety of Cannabis ruderalis is fortunately here to stay.

Understood as a valuable commodity by the US government during World War II, the USDA had once produced an educational video explaining to America’s farmers the importance of cultivating hemp to support the war effort. Approximately 6 decades later, we now understand that hemp’s future is tied to our peaceful survival, rather than our destructive demise.
