Cool. Hemp is one of the most useful things on this planet.

"Fifty miles down the road from my house in Alberta there was an agricultural hemp processing facility and all that bast fiber, it just sits in a high bay, and they don't know what to do with it," Mitlin tells BBC News. "It's a waste product looking for a value-added application. People are almost paying you to take it away." Grow Pleurotus ostreatus with it, problem silved.

Graphene is great because of its structural and chemical simplicity. Anything “grown” is not simple structurally or chemically. Sorry 2ndDiv, I think there is something wrong here.

So if they process hemp and have no use for the fiber, what are they selling? Hmmm.

The potheads just won’t let it go. Next we’ll hear that America couldn’t have put men on the moon without “hemp”. LOL! The wonder drug, man!

Related: Polish chemists tried to make kryptonite and failed, but then made a huge discovery

All the super men and women will be glad of that. However, black men's kryptonite is around everywhere. Life is so unfair.

Seems to be missing lots of details but it is interesting.

... a scientist from New York's Clarkson University says he's found a way to manufacture hemp waste into a material "better than graphene." Moreover, the scientist -- known to his peers as Dr. David Mitlin -- says creating this graphene-like hemp material costs but a minuscule fraction of what it takes to produce graphene.

If he's right a new industry will be created around this invention...

Graphene is a zero-gap semiconductor, because its conduction and valence bands meet at the Dirac points. The Dirac points are six locations in momentum space, on the edge of the Brillouin zone, divided into two non-equivalent sets of three points. The two sets are labeled K and K'. The sets give graphene a valley degeneracy of gv = 2. By contrast, for traditional semiconductors the primary point of interest is generally Γ, where momentum is zero. Four electronic properties separate it from other condensed matter systems.

But I wouldn't try smoking it.
