Seafaring:

Surprisingly, it was hemp that became a salvation for sailors since ancient times. Its strong fibers cope well with the effects of salt water, making it an ideal material for sails, ropes and other marine accessories. The word "canvas" in English comes from "canvas". Initially, this word was used in Holland and meant "cannabis", and not by chance, because it was this plant that made the first sails.

Paper:

Large documents and works of art were made from hemp paper. It was used to create Gutenberg's first printed Bible, as well as important historical documents, including the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. Hemp paper has many advantages over traditional wood-based paper: it is stronger, more durable and produced from environmentally friendly raw materials. In addition, hemp takes much less time to grow than trees, making it a more sustainable option for paper production.

Hemp oil:

Hemp seed oil is rich in nutrients and vitamins such as A, B, C, D and E, and contains 20 amino acids, including all 9 essential for humans. This oil is used not only in cooking, but also in cosmetology and medicine. It helps maintain skin health, smoothes wrinkles and improves the overall condition of the skin. Many centuries ago, hemp oil was used for medicinal purposes, and today it has become a sought-after component in the production of cosmetics.
