Why do not germinate today's cannabis

Nowadays, most people, not only in Ukraine, but also in other countries, associate hemp exclusively with narcotic substances and smoking weed, although in fact this plant has been grown relatively recently in many countries of the world, including ours, on an industrial scale. .

For hundreds of years, mankind has been cultivating cannabis not at all in order to enjoy and relax from its use in various forms. First of all, people looked at this amazing plant from a practical point of view, using it in various areas of their lives, from sewing clothes to the production of medicinal tinctures and ointments, which were used to successfully treat many common diseases.

Fields of application of hemp

The fact that hemp was grown in the past in Ukraine, including in Kyiv and its environs, does not require special evidence. Along with the arguments given by historians about the widespread cultivation of this plant, the then way of life, reflected in folklore, also testifies.

Hemp was made of high quality:

cloth for clothes;

ropes that were used in the household;

reliable fishing nets;

ropes and sails for ships.

Also, people have long noticed the healing properties of hemp, which have been used and are widely used in our time for the development and preparation of medicines that fight various diseases.

Today, many research institutes are conducting basic research in order to develop new, more effective drugs based on cannabis.

As a raw material that is used for the preparation of medicines of traditional and traditional medicine, are:

stems;

leaves;

flowers;

pollen;

seeds;

hemp oil.

There is a lot of evidence in the medical literature about which diseases can be treated with cannabis-based drugs.

The possibility of wide use of hemp as an industrial and medicinal plant has led to the fact that after decades of oblivion, bans and semi-legal cultivation in recent years in Ukraine and not only, hemp growing has begun to revive and the area under this crop is gradually increasing. More and more farmers are interested in growing cannabis for technical and medical purposes. Well-known cannabis growers in Kyiv, who have studied in all subtleties and details how best to grow and care for this cultivated plant, are ready to share their knowledge with novice cannabis growers.

Scientific research

As the cultivation of hemp primarily for technical and medical purposes in our country and around the world gained momentum, scientists began to conduct research to improve the properties of the plant. As a result, the nature of the sex of hemp plants was changed: a monoecious culture was bred instead of a dioecious one, and varieties were also bred that contained more fibers in the stems of the plant. In order to make crop cultivation more efficient, special technologies have been developed, as well as processing methods and machines to facilitate labor and increase productivity.

The long history of cannabis in Kiev and Ukraine makes it possible to say that in the near future our country will be in the trend that has emerged around the world in relation to the cultivation of hemp and its use in various areas of life.

For those producers who are interested in starting preparations for the cultivation of hemp in the near future, one of the main issues is the purchase of seed. There are no problems with this, because you can buy hemp seeds in Kyiv in many specialized stores that provide a wide choice for buyers.

About the development of cannabis started talking even in the UN

Interesting news - the world community in the next decade is waiting for a global breakthrough in the cultivation of hemp. The fact is that on December 8-9, 2018, the International Conference on Cannabis Policy will be held in Vienna. This event is held to develop the main provisions of the new policy of the countries of the world, which will be discussed at the regular session of the United Nations in March 2019. The conference in Vienna will create and discuss new approaches to include hemp in the strategy for the development of world agriculture for the period from 2019 to 2029. In the adopted special UN Declaration on the Development of World Agriculture, a separate item addresses the issue of promoting the rapid development of this promising sector of the economy, the use of the large industrial and therapeutic potential of cannabis.
