HEMP PLYWOOD BECOMES A REALITY
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..

Michael We get it. JOAT was making what some people refer to as a "joke". Webster's defines a joke as "Something not said seriously, or not actually meant; something done in sport." I'm pretty sure JOAT (being an old geezer and all ;-)) is aware of the properties of industrial hemp. todd |

HEMP PLYWOOD BECOMES A REALITY
I guess I missed that one. I had worked on hemp and hemp like materials for
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,
Mark & Juanita spewed forth and said: In article , /without_any_s/ says... I guess I missed that one. I had worked on hemp and hemp like materials for 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, I also suspect that this is why there is so much support from the, shall we say herbally-induced reality-challenged, for pushing hemp as an industrial product. 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. |

HEMP PLYWOOD BECOMES A REALITY
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.

It provides greater cover for raising the illicit kind. ... and please, drop the "pharmaceutical" connotation -- call it what it really is, "pharmaceutical" simply is attempting to legitimize the utilization of this substance for altering one's conciousness. (Don't try the "alcohol is the same" argument either. It is not.) so they wouldn't permit it to be farmed. Michael |

stuff. |

The problem is that if the plywood catches on fire you may stay too close

HEMP PLYWOOD BECOMES A REALITY
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. |
