where does hemp come from?

Answer 1

Hemp use dates back to the Stone Age, with hemp fiber imprints found in pottery shards in China and Taiwan over 10,000 years old. These ancient Asians also used the same fibers to make clothes, shoes, ropes, and an early form of paper.
Hemp cloth was more common than linen until the mid 14th century. The use of hemp as a cloth was centered largely in the countryside, with higher quality textiles being available in the towns. Virtually every small town had access to a hemp field.
Thomas Jefferson drafted the United States Declaration of Independence on hemp paper.
In the Napoleonic era, many military uniforms were made of hemp. While hemp linens were coarser than those made of flax, the added strength and durability of hemp, as well as the lower cost, meant that hemp uniforms were preferred.
Hemp was used extensively by the United States during WWII. Uniforms, canvas, and rope were among the main textiles created from the hemp plant at this time.
