Step 6- what I learned

Amoung other things I learned that hemp comes from the cannabis sativa and had many more uses in anchient times than in the present day. Because hemp production is illegal in many contries and many better alternatives have been found hemp production has drastically decreased sense anchient times. Today there are over 25,000 uses for hemp but for most of products made from hemp there are many better alternatives. Hemp was used in anchient times much more for food than today. In present day food is not as scarce so people are much less likely to want to eat hemp than when people were desperate for food and willing to eat anything. In anchient China the primary use for hemp was for cloth but today there are many better substances used for cloth making. Hemp was very scratchy and corse so the use of cotton, silk and animal skins were later preferred and today there are hundreds of different materials to make fabric out of. 

 The information I learned about the research process was posibly even more vauluable than the information I learned on hemp itself. I learned that time management is key and waiting until the last minute is a horrible idea because learning through osmosis doesn't really work.
