Industrial hemp has very little pharmaceutical value. Except for the US
government's paranoia about it, it's actually a great fiber and can be made into cloth, paper, mdf, etc..

some projects. There were serious problems with the gov't not wanting industrial hemp running around. They couldn't tell the difference between it and the pharmaceutical stuff, so they wouldn't permit it to be farmed. Michael "todd" wrote in message ...

In s.com,

It provides greater cover for raising the illicit kind. completely wrong. anybody that knows anything about cannabis sativa would never grow it with hemp. It's a completely a different genus, it has absolutely NO "pharmaceutical" value. It also carries a completely different heat signature than sativa. If it was to be grown in with hemp, the chances of it being anything but trash is highly unlikely. If you truly want to find out about why the government is against water hemp(acnida cannabina) do a search on Dupont and nylon. |

Read the article. Good stuff, but I have some pertinent questions:
1) The article mentions "plywood" but is really about MDF. I generally avoid ANY kind of particle board, including MDF, because a) it's heavy, b) it's weak for its weight, c) it's prone to disintegration when wetted, d) it makes too much dust, a nuisance and a known health hazard. Is there really such a thing as hemp plywood, a product formed of laminated veneers? 2) The article mentions hemp lumber. Do they mean something like strandboard, the engineered lumber I see going up in all kinds of construction now? 3) If they really can make hemp plywood, how about hemp marine ply? Will the hemp-derived glues be water-resistant? Will hemp plywood glued with traditional adhesives have a suitable strenght/weight ratio for boat building? It would be very good to see a truly renewable building resource for everyday utilitarian use so we can save the beautiful wood for important uses and quit cutting down the forests for less-valuable end-uses. |

Mark,
It is a popular myth that proponents of industrial hemp would like to use it as cover for the illicit stuff. Industrial hemp is grown in tightly spaced rows to encourage fiber and oilseed production. Drug hemp is grown widely spaced to encourage leaf and bud production. No grower of drug hemp would ever want his carefully bred plants cross pollinated with industrial hemp, it would lower the THC content of the product. Hemp is a great source of superior fibers that could replace cotton as a cash crop for many struggling farmers. Over 50% of the pesticides used in the US are used in cotton production. Cotton strips the land depleting the soil and contributes to soil compaction. Hemp has far fewer natural pest and does not deplete the soil the way cotton does. Hemp fibers are also valued for the fine linen-like paper that can be produced. Hemp requires far fewer chemicals to refine into paper and could potentially save our rivers and streams from pollution. Fewer trees for paper production would mean more plentiful lumber at lower prices. Don't take my word for it, do some research. There is a lot of good data out there on industrial hemp. Scott.

You cannot say that of someone partaking in smoking hemp -- the express intent is to alter one's concious state. Whether or not that is their express intent, drinking a glass of wine or beer with your meal will alter your consciousness to some degree. Alcohol intoxication is not binary. I assume you mean it will not be altered to a deleterious extent. If so, I agree. You cannot say that of someone partaking in smoking hemp -- the express intent is to alter one's concious state. Actually, I most certainly can say that. People using cannabis medicinally do so to relieve the symptoms of their condition. Alteration of consciousness is a side effect. Side effects are common in pharmaceuticals. That is why a tremendous amount of research is conducted to identify ways to modify the chemistry of drugs to minimize side effects. An example of that is the acetylation of salicylic acid to make aspirin. I personally do not think cannabis should be available by prescription because it does not comply with the accepted regulations of drug products in the U.S.A.; i.e. all of its components are not well-characterized and the dosage is not known. However, there is evidence that cannabis contains compounds of medical value and those compounds should be isolated and tested in the same way drug products are isolated from other plant materials. But it seems that there is a segment of society that wishes to create roadblocks for that kind of research every step of the way. Unfortunately, there are people who are suffering and might benefit from new drugs; but relief will have to come from other avenues because some people put fear or political motives ahead of reason and human decency. Shame on them. Cheers, Mike If so, I wonder why there was such an outcry among this group when some people stated they occasionally have a drink while woodworking.

You just haven't met some of the others yet. There is quite an interest
out there, but since hemp is now illegal to grow, they are fairly quiet.

2manytoys,
You should stop hanging out with pot-heads and do the research on hemp. It is one of the most usefull plants known to man that could help our farmers and the environment.
