Marijuana contains a variety of active compounds, approximately 400, 60 which are called cannabinoids. The main psychoactive substance is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is found mainly in the flowers and leaves in concentrations ranging from 0.5% -5%, also contains THC cannabis, cannabidiol (CBD), cannabinol (CBN) and cannabigerol (CBG) in amounts which may modify the effects of THC or cause effects themselves.

Cannabinoids have demonstrated an acceptable reduction in side effects of chemotherapy, such as nausea and vomiting, also in other causes of nausea including AIDS and hepatitis. Also, stimulate appetite the AIDS patients. They have beneficial effect on spasticity caused by multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury as well as an improvement in pain, paresthesia, tremor and ataxia. There are reports about the benefit syndrome Tourette’s, in dystonia and tardive dyskinesia. It has been found to reduce intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients and is used as antiepileptic.

For some years you can get on the market an active substance produced by synthesis hemp: dronabinol (Marinol) containing synthetic THC and nabilone (Cesamet) containing synthetic CBN.

There are arguments that reinforce the benefits of using the plant against synthetic extracts prepared or isolated. For example, the CBD attenuates the excitation produced by THC, which explains the effect type according to the proportion THC: CBD. It has also been observed permeability barrier of the brain, so their coadministration improve its effectiveness.

Hemp in the textile industry https://cannarelax.com/en/hemp-the-textile-industry/ https://cannarelax.com/en/hemp-the-textile-industry/#respond Tue, 19 Jul 2016 11:19:12 +0000 http://cannarelax.com/en/el-canamo-en-el-textil/ Continue reading ]]> The first pants 100% Cannabis was manufactured Levi Strauss for miners of gold and patented Californians in 1873. Only the cannabis tissue offered an acceptable duration for clothes of miners, no other material would pass the test that graphically showed the mark commercial pants (two horses trying to break trousers).

The tissues obtained from the Cannabis fiber is a high strength, so they did tell HJAnslinger, founder of the “Marijuana Tax-act” (laws prohibiting the Cannabis): “Truly the Cannabis produces the best fiber fabrics known to man, if you had a shirt made of hemp grandchildren could continue to use “. Four times stronger than cotton fiber used to make the jeans durability.

Before synthetic fibers invaded the market, hemp was considered essential raw material and also was irreplaceable in the shipping industry for ropes and sails. The ships led by Columbus arrived in America in 1492 carrying 80 tons of hemp from ropes, nets, candles and other useful naval. Columbus also introduced the paper on his expeditions (made of hemp) and according to plant seeds indicas said.

Shoe leaves that received the award from the United Nations Fashion Industry and the Environment, introduced in early 1995 a line of hemp cloth shoes.

Surely we wear hemp we know more.

The designer Ralph Lauren dede 1984 revealed that hemp fiber used in their creations, without divulge it. In June 1995 in an article entitled “The oldest fabric in the world is now the most modern,” the New York Times published the secret of Lauren and interviewed Calvin Klein who declared: “I believe that hemp is the preferred fiber both for home furnishings and for the fashion industry. Klein hinted that he too would use hemp soon in her fashion designs.

The hemp: Paper https://cannarelax.com/en/the-hemp-paper/ https://cannarelax.com/en/the-hemp-paper/#respond Tue, 19 Jul 2016 11:18:10 +0000 http://cannarelax.com/en/el-canamo-el-papel/ Continue reading ]]> The art of papermaking fibers of hemp was invented in China in the first century B.C. and it was kept as a state secret. Many historians attribute the breakthrough of this early Chinese culture, media technology. Until the fifteenth century, this technique did not come to Europe, where the Gutenberg revolution revolution first large-scale information) made it possible.

The “hemp paper” of other ancient cultures has been able to last about 1,500 years, approaching the resistance of ancient scrolls and codices. While in the case of ordinary paper, the length is 25 to 100 years. It also has great potential as support for file information printed or embossed (Brayle system, crinkled, etc.) in relation to the poor durability of the paper based on wood pulp.

The oldest surviving hemp paper is one made in China 2000 years, which has never stopped producing and processing hemp in its history ago.

The base wood pulp trees began to be used following the discovery of mechanical and chemical techniques were developed in England and Germany, unfortunately 95% of the current paper is made from tree cellulose.

Although the virgin hemp pulp is used to give more resistance to conventional paper when recycled, and that its long fibers allow twice recycled the wood pulp, unfortunately industries continue to value hemp as pulp basis only at a level experimental, and even analyzes by themselves conclude that hemp is uneconomical to manufacture conventional paper. Despite this special hemp pulp used for tea bags, banknotes, cigarette paper, technical filters for machines, paper for hygiene products and paper for artistic applications, it is precisely used for these applications by being the most high resistance to tear and break moisture.

The main argument to defend the massive use of hemp as raw material for cellulosic pulp has been the preservation of forests and biodiversity but has already claimed countless times that hemp produces three to four times more fiber useful per hectare and year the forests.

The body was made from hemp, soybeans and other fibers and plastics materials made from hemp are very strong. Ford demostrated its resistance beating her with an ax (view VIDEO).

The prototype engine also consumed hemp oil as fuel.

But a year before it came into force the law of the prohibition of hemp in the United States and the eco-car of visionary Ford was never produced in series.

At present, a large part of the fibers that are harvested in Germany are intended for the automotive industry and many parts of cars carrying hemp fiber.

The decrease in cultivation in industrialized countries began following a confused policy of marijuana prohibition, which also affected hemp in the 30s of the twentieth century. It was probably a campaign launched by the opposing interests of certain US industries to enhance other materials such as nylon because cannabis plants were a strong competitor.

Propierties of Industrial Hemp

Hemp is considered the longest textile fiber, soft, strong, fresh, absorbent and durable. The length and strength of hemp still competes with the most modern materials used in naval cables.

Any plastic material or material made from wood can be successfully emulated from cannabis plants, and is also directly biodegradable and recyclable. The agglomerate made with hemp has twice resistance than wood and holds nails better. The plastic materials made from cannabis are of great resistance.

Its main feature is to reduce the surface pressure that resting on the body and the characteristics of the viscoelastic is make longer the optimal resting phase, decreasing movements and arousals.
