Nepalese have also been using hemp fiber derived from the Cannabis plant for a very long time. Cannabis plants in Nepal can grow to a height of about 20 ft. After harvesting them, the villagers will shred the leaves and soak the stems in water for up to 20 days. Once the stems become tender, the bark is separated from the rest of the plant. It is then smoked above a fire and boiled in ash water. Thin strips are then removed from the bark by hand, which make up the hemp fiber for making these hemp products
