I-Hemp itshaliwe izinkulungwane zeminyaka; ubufakazi bokuqala bokusetshenziswa kwe-hemp butholakele kubumba lwaseTaiwan olususela ku-10 000 B.C. E-China yasendulo, okucatshangwa ukuthi iyizwe lendabuko le-hemp, i-hemp - esinye sezitshalo zokuqala ezisetshenziselwa i-fibre - yayisetshenziselwa ukonga izindwangu, izicathulo, iphepha nezintambo. UHemp waphinde wanconyelwa ukugula okuhlukahlukene, kubandakanya nokuqunjelwa, i-rheumatism, kanye nokungezwani.
Ukusakazeka kweHemp
Ezinhlotsheni ezintathu zeCannabis, i-hemp - uhlobo lwe-cannabis sativa - yaqala ukusakazekela emhlabeni wonke, mhlawumbe ngenxa yemicu yayo ewusizo nembewu edliwayo. Kunobufakazi bokutshala okwandile eBritish Isles cishe ngo-400C. lapho isitshalo se-hemp sasisetshenziselwa indwangu (imicu ye-hemp) kanye ne-oyili nokudla (imbewu ye-hemp).
Ukuqwashiswa ngemiphumela ebuhlungu ye-THC-ecebile ye-cannabis isakazeka ngaphezu kwemibuthano yezokwelapha neyezimboni futhi yakhuthaza ukusetshenziswa kwalezi zinhlobo ze-cannabis ngezinjongo zenkolo nezokungcebeleka.
I-Hemp cannabis yangeniswa eCanada ngonyaka ka-1606 ukuze kwenziwe izintambo namaseyili futhi yatshalwa e-USA okokuqala ngeminyaka yo-1630. I-Hemp yayitshalwe kabanzi futhi isetshenziswa eMelika kangangokuba kulinganiselwa ukuthi uhhafu wazo zonke izingubo zenziwa kusuka e-hemp ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-1700.
Ukuqedwa kobugqila e-USA kanye nokutshalwa kukotini kuholele ekwehlelweni kokutshalwa kwe-hemp ngendwangu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukusetshenziswa kwe-pulp yokhuni eshibhile yokwenza iphepha kuqhubeke ukusetshenziswa kwe-hemp. Nokho, ibisasetshenziselwa ukwenza amaphepha kagwayi, amaBhayibheli nemali.
Ukuvinjwa kweHemp
Okunye okuvela ngokuqhubeka kwesikhathi kwakuyizinhlobo ze-hemp "insangu" ezinamazinga aphezulu we-THC. Lezi zinhlayiya eziqukethe i-THC ezivela eningizimu ye-Asia zazisetshenziselwa izidakamizwa zokungcebeleka kodwa ngeshwa, i-hemp yezimboni yaxhunyaniswa nomzala wayo ophakeme we-THC.
Ngo-1930s, ngemuva kokuqokwa kukaHenry J. Anslinger njengokhomishani weNarcotic Bureau, i-hemp cannabis kwathiwa yi-narcotic kanti ukulima i-hemp kwavalwa e-USA.
Ngawo-1940s, ukukhiqizwa nokusebenza kwe-hemp kwavuselelwa okwesikhashana ukukhiqiza iphepha, izindwangu nezintambo ukuze zisetshenziswe phakathi neMpi Yezwe Yesibili, kodwa izimvume zokukhiqiza i-hemp zachithwa ngemuva kwempi.
Eminyakeni yamuva nje, kuye kwavuselelwa inzalo ku-hemp emhlabeni wonke neFrance eholayo - njengamanje umkhiqizi omkhulu kakhulu we-hemp yezimboni emhlabeni. I-China ibhalise ngaphezulu kwamalungelo obunikazi ahlobene ne-hemp ngaphezulu kwe-300 kanti iCanada ikuqinisekisile ngokusemthethweni ukwanda kwe-hemp yezimboni ngembewu nefayibha esetshenziselwa iphepha, izindwangu, izinhlanganisela ze-bio-composites kanye nezinto zokwakha ezinzile.
I-Hemp eNingizimu Afrika
E-Ningizimu Afrika, umthetho awuhlukanisi phakathi kokukhula kweCannabis (insangu) nokukhula kwe-hemmp yezimboni. Naphezu kokuvivinywa okuningi nokuthengiswa kwe-hemp emazweni afana neCanada, China neFrance, ukukhula kwezimboni nokusebenza kwe-hemp kusalokhu kungemthetho futhi izimvume ezikhethekile ziyadingeka zokutshala i-hemp. Lokhu kuvumela ukukhiqizwa kwe-hemp ngezinhloso zocwaningo kuphela.
Imikhiqizo ehlobene ne-Hemp eNingizimu Afrika iyangeniswa.
