It sounds like a student’s dream, a house on the campus made from cannabis.

But the BaleHaus being built at Bath University has a far more serious purpose than getting slackers stoned. It aims to fight global warming and to slash energy bills.

    • What do you do when your government won,t listen to reason? All that plastic floating in the ocean would'nt be there if we used hemp based plastics.When are we going to take these kids toys away from them and give them a timeout.

      - Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President quote on Hemp

      "Why use up the forests which were centuries in the making and the mines which required ages to lay down, if we can get the equivalent of forest and mineral products in the annual growth of the hemp fields?"

    • Industrialized hemp is one of the best ways we can fight global warming. It can do everything a petrohemical can do but is carbon neutral. In the case of rope, car pannels, and clothing its far supperior in use to petrochemicals already. It could become Brittain and America's biggest cash crop.
