Hemp - what is it good for?
Food -

A 1.5-tablespoon serving of hemp seeds contains five grams of protein, 
86 milligrams of magnesium, 
10 percent daily value of iron, 
1245 milligrams of Omega-3 fatty acids and 
436 milligrams of Omega-6 fatty acids
Promoting healthy metabolism weight loss
increased and sustained energy
rapid recovery from disease or injury
lowered cholesterol 
lowered blood pressure
reduced inflammation
improvement in circulation 
improved immune system  
natural blood sugar control
good skin, hair and nails.
Hemp seeds contain all ten of the essential amino acids.
Hemp seeds contain anti-aging antioxidants such as vitamin E.
They're also rich in zinc and phosphorus.

Plastics - 

 Hemp plastic can be manufactured to be 100-percent biodegradable. 
 Plastics using hemp fibers as a reinforcing agent have been found to be up to ten times stronger than petroleum-based applications. 

Saving the forests -

A single acre of hemp can produce as much materials as six acres of trees. 
This is partially because a single acre of hemp can be harvested up to four times per year. 
The fibers of hemp can be used to replace the products made from trees - such as paper while adding a great deal of longevity - the Constitution is written on hemp paper.

Fuel -

Hemp can provide two types of fuel.
Hemp biodiesel – made from the oil of the (pressed) hemp seed.
Hemp ethanol/methanol – made from the fermented stalk.
Hemp biodiesel can be made from domestically produced, renewable oilseed crops such as hemp.
Biodiesel is the only alternative fuel that runs in any conventional, unmodified diesel engine
Hemp biodiesel extends the life of the diesel engine

Hemp is as biodegradable as sugar, 10 times less toxic than table salt, and has a high flashpoint of about 300 F compared to petroleum diesel fuel, which has a flash point of 125 F.
Complete and quickly renewable energy

Heartiness - 

Hemp can be grown in nearly any environment without the use of toxic chemicals, pesticides or the use of hazardous weed killer. 
The plant can survive with prolonged exposure to drought allowing farmers to still cultivate the crop even in some of the most barren of locations. 

Clothing
Hemp's been used for textiles since time immemorial--samples of hemp fabric in China date back to 8,000 BC. 
Hemp has broken into the realms of high fashion, has been mixed with silk for lingerie, as well as being applied where it's durability is used to best advantage: Providing material for shoes, jeans, and other tough sport clothing.

Building Supplies

 Hemp provides all sorts of good building materials.  
Hemp can be made into insulation
 It can be used to make fiberboard and pressboard, 
Hemp can be used to make 'hempcrete', a stronger, lighter, and more environmentally friendly version of concrete.

Chemical Cleanup

One of the most intriguing uses for hemp is in cleaning up soil contamination. In the late 1990s industrial hemp was tested at the site of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in Ukraine to help heal the soil. 
Because of its fast rate of growing each season, hemp shows good potential in cleaning up land contaminated with fly ash, sewage sludge, or other heavy metals--though hemp's use  is in its infancy.
