But... but someone might smoke it and have a good time...

but can you build a house tho?
Secular
It also annihilates the soil requiring ever increasing amounts of fertilizer and nitrates and just ridiculous amounts of water.
lowfunctioninggenius
And it was one of the first cash crops Europeans grew in north america
BigStoney247
It can also be used as a cotton synthetic.

It really is crazy how hemp, a non psychoactive plant, is illegal to grow in the US.

Yo wants the diff between hemp and marijuana
RhymingEverything
Marijuana gets your high, hemp does not.

insert buzzword "sustainable." It ain't, though.
mineovermatter
I love phrases like "eco-friendly" and "harsh bleaching compounds". Perhaps less hyperbole would help.
Notacoolgirl
Sure but you can't smoke it
callmethelizardqueen
And it takes a shit ton more water to grow than the same amount of wood.
RhymingEverything
Sauce?
IAmAMillennial
Sooooooo we make paper out of it instead of trees?
Mojokojo
Yeah but it looks like pot and the lumber industry would throw a fit.
fractalvomitalloveryourface
I am proud to live in a state that supports cannabis consumption (WA). We need to utilize all the benefits!
RageCuddles
I don't even smoke it but I'm happy that it's becoming legal in Canada soon-ish.
Onlyhereforthelaughs
William Randolph Hearst is to blame. PAPER baron.
caramelballoffur
Its sustainability is to blame. This plant requires lots if water more than what youd need with trees and is weaker to disease

SteveNotSteve
Not this bullshit again.
bullbuck
Trust me...lumber and pulp are two completely different products.
khazaria
When at a conference with a top exec at International Paper, he said it makes crappy paper, so I'll have to go with that over imgur.
mrhatnklogs
Cause he's definitely not biased.
khazaria
His company doesn't grow trees, it just makes paper.
mrhatnklogs
And politicians don't sell oil. Doesn't mean they aren't linked.
khazaria
Plenty of politicians are in the oil business.
mrhatnklogs
...that's the point.

yeah but the wood lobby don't like it

You're absolutely right. Nothing is more powerful than the beet lobby.

How come nobody's producing and selling it?

Hemp is flexible. But not best for anything. Wood is better for paper. Nylon is better for rope. Countries that can grow it don't bother.
theycallmewillywonka
And steel isn't as flammable. Hemp is cheap af
hungriesthippo
The timber industry was owned largely by William Randolph Hearst who also owned large news papers. Hemp would have put him out of business.
hungriesthippo
He teamed up with Harry Anslinger by printing lies about weed making blacks and Mexicans into rape monsters that prey on young white girls.
SteveNotSteve
Hearst never owned timber. Nice conspiracy theory, but not true.
inconspicuouselephant
The wood industry. They are the ones to blame for weed ever being made illegal in the first place bc hemp was leading the market.
SteveNotSteve
Leading the market in what? Not lumber.
inconspicuouselephant
Hemp fiber is more useful than wood pulp. The paper market alone is enough for them to fight over.
mrhatnklogs
Illegal to grow in US. Can get it from Canada.
RhymingEverything
Some states have been legalizing it recently.
SteveNotSteve
True. But it's not very useful, so very few people are taking advantage of the legalization and growing it.
TehMightyEngineer
Ugh, not this again. I made a big reply to this on Facebook a while back. Short answer is this is all lies and oversimplifications.
caramelballoffur
The huge amounts of water this plant requires makes it unsustainable. But it's in a poster with some white block letter so it must be true!
riddmkidd
How does it compare to almonds as far as water demands?
KuistiPanu
Also, there are different kind of fibers even in different types of wood. There is no one thing you can use for pulp
TehMightyEngineer
True but the poster says "can be used for every quality of paper" but fails to mention that it's mostly low-grade and thus requires. 1/2
TehMightyEngineer
You to added higher quality lignin for the higher qualities of paper, usually with hardwood and softwood. 2/3
TehMightyEngineer
Plus, I have no idea how this would affect the kraft process and likely would require heavy modification. Even all things equal 3/4
TehMightyEngineer
Whoops, that should have said higher "cellulose" quality.

Thai is such a cool written language!

Not so cool if you're texting. Submenus of submenus for days.
MostValuableDickbutt
Isn't it like the most difficult language in the world to learn?
Binkyslutterbuns
No, that would be English. :D
Connordom
Because English is actually several languages hiding in a trench coat
jake96
Not that I disagree, but in this case it's typed.
ASAPSleep
Still written language. Communication degree finally useful.
pronoun
Whoosh.
closetpastafarian
Also, produced in a cool temperature weather, hemp does not produce THC and cannot be used as a drug.
Hoop66
"Hemp" is just a variety of cannabis Sativa that produces hardly any THC/CBD, even if grown in a hot climate.
N0ticeablyFAT
Not with that attitude it can't.
aSeriesofUnlikelyExplanaitons
Alaskan thunderfuck would beg to differ.
RhymingEverything
Even in hot weather hemp, you'd have to be a chemist and have TONS of hemp to get enough THC out of it to get high.
KoncentrateKing
Yeah well the plant can't be perfect.
fridaybot
isn't this strain dependant and not temperature? Industrial hemp has little to none THC and cannot be used as a drug as per usual.
scabab
THC is sunblock for weed. Plant produces it in response to and in order to protect itself from UV rays. Thats why growing requires UV lamps.
Sogeking
My balcony disagrees
scabab
your balcony is lit by the sun which has UV rays
Sogeking
Not much, and I live in a cold climate. It's very strain dependant on what can and can't grow on my balcony.
nubbinout
"Science Bitch"
CerebrawlHemmorage
UV isn't temperature dependant and due to ozone depletion, it's worse near the poles, especially in the long summer days.
scabab
i didnt say it was. and UV exposure is highest at the equator, which receives more sunlight, far outweighing polar ozone thinning.
CerebrawlHemmorage
More annual sunlight maybe, but ever heard of the midnight sun? Days near the pole get very long in summer.
CerebrawlHemmorage
Also: cloud cover has minimal affect on UV, so it's not even dependant on weather.
CerebrawlHemmorage
So it would make more sense for them to produce MORE THC in northern, temperate places, if that's the prerequisite.
scabab
here are various examples of you being wrong
