    • If you haven't seen this, please take 4 minutes and 20 seconds of your life and watch it. I've learned this song and perform it wherever I go just to spread the word. It's difficult to get through the minds of the mid-westerners but I'm still trying. The farmers out here were once paid by the government to grow hemp. Now it grows wild nearly everywhere and NDOR poisions it, thereby polluting the water supply and killing it. Hemp has MANY medicinal purposes, makes a stronger rope and material that won't break down like cotton does. It also produces a bandaid for the ozone. Pass it on!
      Peace!

    • I'll be honest . . . I had thought for a long time that hemp was nothing more than some hippie protest thing with no real practical or industrial use.

      We should definitely be utilizing these kinds of products in our industry if they are cost effective and useful.

    • A classic case of tossing out the baby (hemp) with the bathwater (cannabis). Except the analogy doesn't completely fit, since the cannabis isn't actually "dirty," just perceived to be so.

      Personally I have no stake here. My drugs of choice are alcohol and nicotine, and I'm not going to grow hemp in my backyard "victory garden." But as a citizen, I think resistance both to the fibers and to the cannabis have been incredibly destructive.

      They are locked up mentally and economically. And there are other plants that can be used also. Could it be big oil's lobby? Nuclear energy lobby? Hemp is cheap to grow and lots of the other alternatives are too. Monsanto likes to sell corn seed. I bet all the big parasitic corporations don't want something simple and inexpensive. Farmers who live on marginal land could grow hemp as it does not need the most fertile land.

    • Yes that is hemp used as concrete. It has been said that Hempcrete gets stronger with age, unlike our concrete roads and ridges that constantly need repair or collapse.
