hemp paper

Fiber-based writing material

Hemp paper is paper made from fibers of the hemp plant rather than wood pulp.

It was historically common—early drafts of the U.S.

Constitution were written on hemp paper—but became rare after hemp cultivation was restricted.

Hemp paper is more durable than wood-pulp paper and requires fewer chemicals to produce, making it environmentally appealing.
