Hemp is an incredibly versatile crop, with a long history of human use, and can be used for everything from bricks to blankets, from fuel to furry slippers. With 50 000 documented uses it is the super plant of all super plants and it can change the face of the South African economy, and our society as a whole.

It can't get you high, but it can get you clothes, shelter, nourishment, natural plastics, fuel, medicine, beauty products, and more. Yet despite the potential of the crop, as illustrated by 27 countries growing it around the world, the South African government is still dragging its feet about legalising the wonder crop.

Hempnow is a South African movement to legalise the hemp industry in South Africa, and they need your support. This is not only for hippies and layabouts, this is not about drugs, this is not a conspiracy. This is about supporting a cause that will influence the future our country in a world destined for drastic change.

So, with a few simple clicks, sign the petition, follow the movement, spread the word, and do your part to influence our public servants to legalise that which we all need.
