Really? He asked a legit question, I am surprised I am the first one to give it any credence beyond "your just high" that's like calling someone stupid and thinking your right.
This is from wikipedia, so it is questionable, but goes with most of what I ahve heard and put the words to it and some numbers instead of me trying to be like "well... it has lots of protein and things for you... its good for you" It doesnt say it specifically here, but its protein is not only one of the fullest in the spectrum of what we need to survive, but it also has some of the highest amounts.
"About 30–35% of the weight of hempseed is hempseed oil or
hemp oil, an edible oil that contains about 80%
essential fatty acids (EFAs); i.e.,
linoleic acid,
omega-6 (
LA, 55%),
alpha-linolenic acid,
omega-3 (
ALA, 22%), in addition to
gamma-linolenic acid,
omega-6 (
GLA, 1–4%) and
stearidonic acid,
omega-3 (
SDA, 0–2%). Whole hempseed also contains about 25% of a highly-digestible
protein, where 1/3 is
edestin and 2/3 are
albumins. Its
amino acid profile is close to "complete" when compared to more common sources of proteins such as meat, milk, eggs and
soy.
[22] The proportions of linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid in one tablespoon (15 ml) per day of
hemp oil easily provides human daily requirements for EFAs. Unlike
flaxseed oil, hemp oil can be used continuously without developing a deficiency or other imbalance of EFAs.
[23] This has been demonstrated in a clinical study, where the daily ingestion of flaxseed oil decreased the endogenous production of GLA.
[23]
Hempseed is an adequate source of
calcium and
iron. Whole hempseeds are also a good source of
phosphorus,
magnesium,
zinc,
copper and
manganese.
Hempseed contains no
gluten and therefore would not trigger symptoms of
celiac disease."
"
Hemp oil has been shown to relieve the symptoms of
eczema (
atopic dermatitis).
[24]
Hemp Seed contains a large dietary supplement of
omega-3, higher even than walnuts which contain 6.3% of n-3."
"Hemp oil has anti-inflammatory properties."

The fibre is one of the most valuable parts of the hemp plant. It is commonly called
bast, which refers to the fibres that grow on the outside of the woody interior of the plant's stalk, and under the outer most part (the bark). Bast fibres give the plants strength. Hemp fibres can be between approximately 0.91 m (3 ft) and 4.6 m (15 ft) long, running the length of the plant. Depending on the processing used to remove the fibre from the stem, the hemp may naturally be creamy white, brown, gray, black or green.[

The use of hemp for fibre production has declined sharply over the last two centuries, but before the
industrial revolution, hemp was a popular fibre because it is strong and grows quickly; it produces roughly 10% more fibre than
cotton or
flax when grown on the same land.[

canvas, and the word
canvas derives from
cannabis.
[26][27] Abaca, or "
Manila hemp", a relative of the banana plant, replaced its use for rope.
Burlap, made from
jute, took over the sacking market. The paper industry began using
wood pulp. The carpet industry switched over to
wool,
sisal, and
jute, then
nylon. Netting and webbing applications were taken over by
cotton and synthetics."
