“Hemp/industrial hemp” and “marijuana” are two distinct varieties of the same plant species. "Hamp / industriell hamp og marihuana" er to forskjellige varianter av samme plante arter. “Hemp” is a fiber crop. "Hamp" er en fiber beskjære. “Marijuana” is a drug crop. "Marihuana" er et medikament beskjære. However, these definitions have become confused in the last 60 years. Men disse definisjonene er blitt forvirret i de siste 60 årene. Recently, a movement has begun to distinguish the terms again. Nylig har en bevegelse har begynt å skille mellom begrepene på nytt. It is important to understand the history of usage of these terms in order to eliminate the confusion. Det er viktig å forstå historien om bruken av disse begrepene for å unngå den forvirring.

1600-1930s Hemp’s Long History in North America 1600-1930-tallet hamp er lang historie i Nord-Amerika
The word “hemp” has been in the English language for over 800 years. Ordet "hamp" har vært i det engelske språket for over 800 år. The word “marijuana” is only 100 years old. Ordet «marihuana» er bare 100 år gammel.
From the first settling of North America until the 1930s, “hemp” was the most common term for Cannabis sativa fiber crops. Fra første settling av Nord-Amerika frem til 1930-tallet, "hamp" var den mest vanlige uttrykket for Hamp fiber avlinger. “Marijuana” was never used to describe hemp fiber crops, which were grown for canvas, rope, fuel oil, and paper. "Marihuana" aldri ble brukt for å beskrive hamp fiber avlinger, som ble dyrket på lerret, tau, fyringsolje og papir. “Hemp” fiber crops were historically low THC and completely non-psychoactive. "Hamp" fiber avlinger ble historisk lavt THC og helt ikke-psykoaktive stoffer.

1930s-1940s Marijuana tax Act confuses “Hemp” and “Marijuana” 1930-tallet-1940-tallet Marihuana skatt Act forvirrer "hamp" og "Marihuana"

I 1930-årene, den psykoaktive (high-THC) rekke Hamp, importert fra Mexico, ble vanlig i de sørlige, amerikanske Det ble kalt "marihuana", et ord popularisert gjennom "Reefer Madness"-kampanje, for å skille det fra " hamp "fiber avlinger (som ingen noen gang røykt).

In 1937, the passage of the Marijuana tax Act hopelessly confused the terms “hemp” and “marijuana”. For the first time, Congress defined these distinct varieties of Cannabis sativa as being the same. For første gang har Kongressen definert disse forskjellige varianter av Hamp som å være den samme. What had been commonly known as “hemp” was now “marijuana”. Hva hadde vært kjent som "hamp" nå var "marihuana".

1950s “Hemp” Crops Become Extinct 1950 "hamp" Avlinger Bli sloknet

Boken også touted "hamp" som en løsning til dagens miljøproblemer.
Because The Emperor was targeted at a “marijuana” movement and since it was not widely known that low-THC varieties of hemp existed in Europe and Asia, it was believed that “marijuana” must be legalized to allow industrial uses of “hemp”. Fordi keiseren var rettet mot en "marihuana" bevegelsen og siden det ikke var allment kjent at lav-THC varianter av hamp fantes i Europa og Asia, man trodde at "marihuana" må legalized å tillate industriell bruk av hamp ". And because it was the environmentalists and the counter-culture that began promoting hemp as an alternative fiber crop, they were not taken seriously. Og fordi det var det miljøvern og mot-kultur som begynte å reklamere for hamp som et alternativ til fiber beskjære, men de ble ikke tatt på alvor.

Dette varierte koalisjon begynner med ordet "industriell hamp" (eller bare "hamp") til å referere utelukkende til lav-THC ikke-psykoaktive varianter av Hamp. The goal of the “industrial hemp” movement is to allow legitimate production of “hemp” fiber crops and to explore the environmental benefits of “hemp” as an alternative fiber, pulp, and oil source. Målet med "industriell hamp" bevegelsen er å tillate lovlige produksjonen av "hamp" fiber avlinger og å utforske de miljømessige fordelene med "hamp" som et alternativ til fiber, masse-, og olje-kilde.
