Re: A Brief History of Hemp

I think that hemp is a very valuable resource that could replace cotton and wood for a variety of products. It is a shame that is illegal to grow and I think that needs to change. One of the statements above had me scratching my head though. # Hemp fiberboard is far stronger than similar wood products, and can replace almost every item used in building a house. (Except electrical wiring and glass windows. I just do not see how hemp fiberboard could be used to frame up a house, or support the loads that wooden headers do. I guess anything is possible, but I think this is very unlikely. Also paper made from hemp is very rough, and would not be a good substitute for computer paper or writing paper.
