In Kazakhstan, the hemp will be widely used
For the state is the "face" also benefit in terms of passing cleanse the soil, which, if you justify yourself, can be applied to a contaminated land in the regions of Eastern and Western Kazakhstan, in landfills and burial grounds.
We are talking about industrial hemp, which is able to clean the soil from heavy metals in place of growth and, therefore, could be useful for the revival of these polygons. But the list of applications of hemp does not end there.
Hemp in Kazakhstan grew ever. The examples are not far to seek, rather remember the Chui valley, age hemp bushes in which scientists from the United States estimate almost 50 thousand years. And mankind has long been known many uses of this plant - though much of its kind, the so-called industrial hemp - in the home and workplace.
If you look at history, hemp has long been producing eco-friendly fabrics and paper, which printed books, maps and books, hemp included in the building materials and even fuel. Moreover, hemp since ancient times has been a valuable source of useful for the human protein compounds. The US dollar is still printed on hemp paper.
Technical hemp is able to clean the soil from contamination of heavy metals and radioactive isotopes. According to the scientist of the company Vladislav Phytotech Dushenkova, breeders in 2009 in the course of long-term observations have established that cannabis is an excellent method for fitoochischeniya soil from heavy metals and radioactive elements.
The process by which cannabis cleans contaminated soil is called phytoremediation - a term denoting the use of green plants to clean up the environment or to "fix" the soil or water contaminated with heavy metals and excessive minerals. Until now, science had two known plants that can clean the soil in this way - is mustard and sunflower. But their purification occurs during many years. With hemp process goes faster.
It turns out that the efficacy of cannabis in comparison to other "candidates", designed to fitoremidiatsii soil, immeasurably higher. And after the plant purifies the soil layer from contamination, it can be processed into organic fuel that could make a similar technique decontamination of radioactive areas is not only beneficial for the environment, but also a profitable fishery.
Gaining momentum legalization of cannabis cultivation, including technical, and in the US, where the plant is going to use for a cheap and effective treatment of heavy metals and radioactive isotopes of more than 30 thousand stations across the country, formerly industrial facilities.
As for Kazakhstan, it is reported to our publishing head of the Laboratory of Plant Resources of RSE "Institute of Botany" KH MES Hope Gemedzhieva, today this work is not carried out at the institute, but in Soviet times on hemp and develop programs based on the state order.
However, the majority of them was of a closed character, and was mainly directed not to the cultivation and the fight against cannabis, since the territory of Kazakhstan in the wild it grows only one type of hemp - hemp weed, just the one that contains tetrahydrocannabinol.
During perestroika and many later took up the question Kazakhstan Kanat Sarsenbayev scientist who proposed the project for the processing of industrial hemp, devoid of THC, from which it would be possible to get the yarn, fiber, paper and so on.
Today, the project interested private business. If in this case will be able to get a grant for the cultivation of industrial hemp, in the territory of the South Kazakhstan region, says Gemedzhieva, it will be possible to grow industrial hemp variety, as well as to create a manufacturing base to produce from it the pulp and various kinds of paper.
For the state is the "face" also benefit in terms of passing cleanse the soil, which, if you justify yourself, can be applied to a contaminated land in the regions of Eastern and Western Kazakhstan, in landfills and burial grounds.
The difference between the two types of hemp - wild and technical - in areas of growth. Weed wild hemp grows only in the Chui Valley in Kazakhstan and in some parts of India, being listed there with the foothills of the Hindu Kush. Technical mostly in the southern regions of Siberia and the Ukraine. I tried one time to grow at a THC cannabis and the Netherlands, but it did not work, although the technical and wild seems to be similar, not only in its composition and utility applications, and agricultural technology. Both of these can be used in the manufacture of paper, environmentally friendly and cheap fabrics, oil, biofuels and even, as it turned out, able to clean the soil from heavy metals and harmful substances. They differ only in that a part of one - wild - there are psychoactive substances, and of the technical - no.
So, in Kazakhstan grows hemp is such that "the presence", but its cultivation is prohibited by law. While, for example, in Uruguay legalized sale of psychoactive cannabis, which allowed the government of this country is practically squeeze narkokriminal market. And in Israel and 20 US states officially allowed its use for medical purposes. Interestingly enough, will there ever be something like this possible in Kazakhstan? It is, on the one hand, like it or not, a lot of financial revenues to the state treasury, the other - the possibility of really useful properties of this plant, which could be used for other purposes.
