I'm not a stoner, I may have been in my youth, but no more.  I do get frustrated with people are singing the praises of hemp while smoking a joint, it gives out the wrong impression.  We need to separate those two things, hemp is not cannabis, it's its cousin.  The only reason it requires insane permits to grow... is because it looks like Marajauana 🤷‍♂️

​

Hemp as a material is an environmental superstar, it requires very little water, grows just about anywhere, it grows very tall and densely which means weeds don't grow between the plants, and it has very high yields per square meter. It is very resistant to fugus and pests, and takes weeks to mature.  It captures massive amounts of carbon and is completely compostable.  The material is as versatile as cotton, if not more so. 

​

Honestly, spend the extra (until the price starts to come down) and get this material.  It's absolutely amazing.
