Myth : Hemp is bad for the environment

Reality : Hemp plant helps restore unhealthy soil and its soil fertility. Thanks to its botanical properties, hemp can actually leave soil better off than when it started by rejuvenating the dirt with nutrients and nitrogen. This helps clean up toxins, heavy metals and other pollutants from the ground through a process called phytoremediation. Hemp increases the microbial content of the soil. The stem and leaves of the hemp plant are rich in nutrients and after harvesting these nutrient dense-remnants can be returned to the soil, rejuvenating it for a richer yield the following year. Hemp breathes in 4 X of the resistant to pest and weeds.
