Thus far, green construction has focused mostly on the health of the environment and not specifically on the health of the residents, but it;s likely that what benefits one will benefit the other. Although asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral, its use has been banned in construction, as its devastating health effects have long been known. Every year, approximately 2000 Americans discover they have contracted mesothelioma because of asbestos exposure, a bleak diagnosis, as even with aggressive mesothelioma treatment, including surgery, chemo and radiation, sufferers rarely live beyond 18 months. Asbestos cancer has no known cure.
Industrial hemp is imported because it cannot be grown legally in the U.S. Yet its use reflects an increasing effort to make American homes both energy-efficient and healthier.

I think hemp would do wonders for our country. There are a couple of industries that would benefit from using hemp as a base.
