I've only read a little bit about hemp products, mostly read the legal and medical reports.

That must be why I saw the ads for rice paper, because that's non-toxic, too? One thing that bothered me is that claims of hemp's versatility make it sound like it's too good to be true. I've even seen hemp clothing, yet, it's hard to swallow when something that people practically claim is the answer to life, the universe and everything, or that it can be the best, most prolific paper on earth yet we're still cutting down trees...

Yes, but rice paper is more expensive and less durable than hemp.

I've even seen hemp clothing
Hemp is cheaper to grow than cotton. Hemp will grow in soils not rich enough to grow cotton. The yield is higher than cotton. Hemp does not require the chemical fertilizers and pesticides that cotton does. Hemp is stronger and more durable than cotton. Hemp does not mildew, cotton does. Levis were made from hemp before hemp was outlawed. That's why they lasted so long.
Hemp also outperforms the synthetics, such as nylon.

Hemp truly is a miracle plant. It has more uses than any other plant on the earth. It really boils down to industry. Synthetics are produced by industry, hemp is a farm product. Cotton production requires industrial chemicals for fertilizer and pesticide. Hemp does not. The government supports industry over farming. Industry contributes more money to politicians than farmers do.

It goes further than you can imagine. The link below goes to a famous player in the cannabis world. He even has a strain of plant named after him. He claims that by growing for seed, cannabis could COMPLETELY replace fossil fuels and is offering $100,000 to anyone that can refute his theory.
