Hemp is a common name for Cannabis and the name most used when this annual plant is grown for non-drug purposes. These include the industrial purposes for which cultivation licences may be issued in the European Union and Canada.

When grown for industrial purposes hemp is often called industrial hemp (or industrial cannabis), and a common product is fiber for use in a variety of different ways.
