Summary: This bilingual book deals with a hot topic in Canada: cannabis. But it focuses more specifically on the plant’s non-psychotropic varieties, commonly known as “industrial hemp”. In an effort to summarize and popularize the subject, the author presents an overview of this plant, which has been used by man since he invented agriculture. Is there a difference between cannabis and hemp? This discussion is the subject of the first pages of the book. We then delve into the plant’s rich history from a North American perspective, followed by botanical and agronomic aspects and, finally, the main uses of this multi-faceted plant. This book will inform and entertain you. Sometimes controversial and certainly underestimated, hemp deserves to be better known. It’s time to restore its former glory.
The author
An entrepreneur in the industrial hemp sector for many years, Patrick Pelletier is passionate about this plant, which he discovered on a trip to Western Canada in 1995. The moment marked the beginning of a long and relentless search to demystify a natural wonder that still manages to amaze him after more than 25 years. Patrick Pelletier launched his first company, Ecothentik, in 2012. After several years in operation, a change of direction became necessary in order to continue the adventure. That’s how Caneve came into being. Caneve is an online store and reference center for industrial hemp.
