The plant being discussed is not the marijuana that gets people high. And there have been groups advocating the use of hemp for many things long before the issue of excess carbon came along. Is probably worth considering.
I've been using hemp protein in a protein shake for years
It was used for rope.
You’ve never seen kudzu, have you?
Allah
In America we used to grow a lot of hemp but Hearst who owned newspapers and timber to make the paper wanted it banned. The cotton farmers also lobbied against hemp.
Hemp is strong and fast growing and can be used for rope and all kinds of products.
Attach this to the “The Hidden Costs of Living Alone” article - https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4111689/posts
TPTB want 20 stoners living in every house. 1 or 2 will work and the rest can stay home and collect UBI
Bahahahahaha….is there anything pot cannot do???
You sure cotton needs 1500 gallons of water for every pound produced? Seems it is grown in semi-arid places without irrigation such as West Texas.
As I recall it was not just the Hearst news organization but DuPont came up with nylon 6,6 about the time hemp because illegal. It competed with hemp.
What seems to be missing in this story is what happens to hemp when it decomposes. Methane is released.
So just growing hemp and composting it doesn’t help. It would have to be made into food and durable goods to reduce “greenhouse gases”.
What about that guy who said he ‘never inhaled?’
They’re obsessed and possessed by their weed. That’s why we call it dope.
Hmmm, can we cut down all the forests then, and replace them with weed?
There is no “climate change”.
Now that’s funny right there. I wonder if Hemp has the same effect. A lot of useful things are made from Hemp.
And I see the article talks about hemp, interesting. A lot nicer stuff to deal with than old poisonous solar panels.
Ya..I could picture that.
Satisfying to think about really.
Were the researchers drug free when they came to their conlusions?
Fine, let client hysteria idiots get high on pot, maybe locked up on pot farms. Problems solved: No more pot idiots, no more client hysteria.

Newsflash: Trees thrive on carbon dioxide.
And Windmills chop up birds and bats 24 x 7
“The general balanced reaction for Photo’synthesis Formula according to Kamen and Ruban (1941) is
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O
(Carbon dioxide) (Water) (Glucose) (Oxygen) (Water)
Photosynthesis is the process of converting the energy in which solar energy is converted into the form of light which is used in the production of carbohydrate molecules.”
I imagine that 7 tons of co2 is used 3 tons of carbon is retained and 4 tons of o2 is released into the air.
