Simple economics.  Supply & demand.  When you purchase an item made of hemp you are sending a message to your community and government (taxes on the sale) that you support the entire concept of hemp.  It's a well known fact that we vote with our dollars. You can demand a hemp industry in Canada by wearing hemp clothing and accessories!

   Each time you shop in our Cannabis Culture Shop™ you are creating demand for more products from the cannabiz industry. We do our best to represent the global cannabiz industry while maintaining a unique Canadian content in our product lines.

   If the demand for hemp products increases so will the amount of  hemp grown in our farmers feilds.  This will stimulate our local economies and be beneficial to entire communities across the country.  Canada is ideally situated from a global perspective to be a leader in the hemp industry.  (Ever taken a look at our land mass on a map of the world?!) 

   Canadians wear a lot of cotton.  This means we are reliant on other countries to produce our raw materials for clothing.  We can't grow cotton in Canada!   However we can grow hemp.  We can grow a lot of hemp.  This will open up a new market for growers, processors and manufacturers.  This could be our number one export to the world.  It would beat diverting our water systems into other counties for cash, and wholesaleing our forests (read oxygen) for paper pulp.

   Jobs, Jobs, Jobs.  If Canadians would get off the couch - turn off the TV and take up hobbies like farming, imagine how many people we could employ!  There's nothing like a full days work with your hands - and most of us have two.  The exponential employment potential of an emerging industry is staggering.  At every stage between cultivation and finished product there are opportunites to carve out a niche and help build for our future.

Cannabis is Marijuana and Hemp!

   There are a lot of people out there (some in the cannabiz industry) that will tell you that there is a difference between hemp and marijuana and that they are two totally different things.  This is misleading as really we are talking about the plant: cannabis .  Hemp is one application, marijuana another.  Hemp seed is cannabis seed.  Marijuana seed is cannabis seed.

   Currently in this country hemp is legal to cultivate (under licence) for industrial purposes and marijuana remains a criminal offence for having the same plant's flowers in your pocket. 

   How is this so?!  Simple. (It's always simple - it's humans that think of these things...) Industrial hemp is a bio-engineered version of cannabis that produces all hemp and no marijuana.  THC the active ingredient in marijuana is kept to a maximum of .03% in the mature plant. This is done to prevent people from sneaking into hemp fields to pick the flowers. BEWARE these murderous thieves!!

   The separate fields of thought enable the development of a hemp industry while maintinaing our current state of  law and disorder. Why does our society choose to criminalize it's own children through enforcement of laws that do more harm than good?   If we can tolerate tobacco & alcohol through regulation and education then what is the difference with cannabis?

   Thus supporting our work is supporting the concept of a world that is cannabis friendly.  A place where our cars run on biomass hemp fuel (cheap, effecient, and abundant, generating zero pollution), where our papers are printed on sustainably produced hemp paper (deforrestation is planetary suicide), and where people can choose safer alternatives for relaxation and attitude adjustment.

Glad you could join us!
