The history of hemp and the rise of CBD
In short: Hemp has been part of human culture for thousands of years, used for fibre, food and more. Here we look at the history of hemp cultivation and how CBD became popular in recent years ā as general background.
Hemp through history
Hemp is one of humanity’s oldest cultivated plants, used across many cultures for rope, textiles, paper, sails and food. Its strong fibres and nutritious seeds made it a valuable crop long before modern times.
The rise of CBD
CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plant. Its popularity in wellness products has grown considerably in recent years, alongside interest in full-spectrum hemp extracts.
