The term hemp is used to name the durable soft fiber from the Cannabis plant stem (stalk).
Cannabis sativa cultivars are used for fibers due to their long stems; Sativa varieties may grow more than six metres tall.
However, hemp can refer to any industrial or foodstuff product that is not intended for use as a drug.
Many countries regulate limits for psychoactive compound (THC) concentrations in products labeled as hemp.

Cannabis for industrial uses is valuable in tens of thousands of commercial products, especially as fibre ranging from paper, cordage, construction material and textiles in general, to clothing.
Hemp is stronger and longer-lasting than cotton.
It also is a useful source of foodstuffs (hemp milk, hemp seed, hemp oil) and biofuels.
Hemp has been used by many civilizations, from China to Europe (and later North America) during the last 12,000 years.
In modern times novel applications and improvements have been explored with modest commercial success.
