- Abstract
Hemp is the most popular plant in the Romanian people's tradition. It has been cultivated on the territory of our country for a very long time. One cannot accurately determine how long this culture has been known and used by the ancestors of the Romanian nation. It is known that it has been grown on large areas, in all Romanian villages, to obtain textile fibbers. There is no peasant household that does not have a hemp parcel, because it was a raw material, the basic source for obtaining cloths manually woven by housewives and to make clothing or other products used in peasant households (towels, bags, sheets, covers, ropes, strings, etc.). After 1990, because legislation stated that this plant is the basis for drugs, hemp cultures have greatly reduced and they are almost endangered. The authors of this article aim at highlighting that, by modern methods of use, of processing, hemp is the only plant from which stems, seeds, and leaves can be a very profitable crop that deserves more attention from Romanian farmers.
