- We've used cannabis for tens of thousands of years. Not just to get high but also to make textiles, paper, medicine and much more. We then outlawed it for decades - only to realize the stuff is pretty good at helping fight climate change. So get ready for the cannabis comeback.

Yes but you might want to re-check your records on amount of water to produce a shirt made of cotton? I think that value maybe has an extra zero added when it shouldn't? That's excessive and who ever is producing cotton and consuming that quantity of water to do so...... All they are doing is donating water to the clouds so it can rain in some other land other than where the cotton is growing? The cotton didn't consume 3000L to make a shirt, that's for sure! Maybe 300, but even then only a small percentage is absorbed by the cotton plant.
The biggest costs associated with cotton is the millions of dollars spent on height gradienting the land so that flood inundation techniques can be employed to water the crop. In areas of high rainfall they tend to use water storage reservoirs (in Australia we call them turkey nest dams). The water is free because it's captured and stored. It's not consumed it's contributed back as evaporated water somewhere else? And somewhere else is watering something different...... And their water is that takes a huge dump to be stored for cotton farming?
If you dig even the slightest hole in a cotton paddock you'll likely get shot immediately on the spot! You've just created a depression and that is going to cause big problems! Lol

we basically have everything we need, I can bet that even energy storagge could be found in nature, just engineers can't see it or make it too coplicated, I can bet sand and sea water, salt water could be used for energy storage, we just need to find a way to make it in the cheapest way possible
This is just hemp, too. We haven't even begun to speak about medicinal cannabis and how it is changing and saving lives all over the globe.
Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.
Overcoming the power of addiction is no easy achievement. Every day can be a struggle against inner turmoil and outside pressures, exerting influence on you.
Psychedelics definitely have potential to deal with mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, I would like to give them a try but haven't found any legit grower to get it.

Hemp is a wonderful plant, especially because it does not need a lot of water, fertilizer and no pesticides and produces a lot of biomass. It would be a wonderful addition for farmers to diversify their crop rotation.
truth. the most important benefit of cannabis sativa in my opinion.
theres over 25 000 industrial products from this resource....most were in use and well known 100 years ago ...enter big pharma and population control and h j anslinger nuff said it has so many uses and values it is criminal not to use it

I live in Japan and have many clothes made of hemp, the oldest fiber material in the country. Hemp clothes are very very nice to wear and see. Hemp is by far the best plant in the world for multiple usages. We should all grow hemp.
@Sirnkissako you're high?
So, in Japan they have already developed the machinery for turning hemp into clothing .... I would like to learn more about that!
Hi, are these clothes made in Japan? Are there whole brands producing it by themselves?
A few years ago I started using weed for pain. It literally saved my life. A couple years ago my fried lost his sister to an accidental overdose due to pain from a horrible car accident. I believe she’s still be here if she’d had access to weed. It makes me think of all the people who have lost their lives in a similar manner or even lost the life they knew because they fell into the trap of being prescribed pain meds then those are stopped by doctors without realizing their patients had a new problem. I think there have been millions. It makes me furious and so sad
It upsets me also
My great-grandfather made a lot of things from hemp using different parts of the plant - baskets, ropes, rags, sacks, door mats, even an air filter! And that was a century ago.
For the record, the hemp plant he used had very different characteristics from "ganja". It's a separate species (Cannabis ruderalis maybe, but I'm not sure).
It got banned a long time ago, not because people were misusing it, but because narrow-minded and/or vile-tempered politicians did not want the general populace to have access to such a versatile plant. It allowed people to be independent and self-sufficient in many aspects of their daily lives. And that's something Big Brother does not like.
there is no seperate species actually, all cultivars can be crossed to have fertile offspring, some cultivars even change in morphology when planted in a much higher altitude.
👆👆He delivers 🍄🍄📌:::
@@erickverbiesen6577 probably he mean the one which didnt genetically modified to produce more 'flying' thingy
it got banned because people smoke it and their brain with time get dumber and dumber. Not because other reasons.

Banning hemp was not so much a mistake, as successful lobbying by DuPont corporation, which was pushing for the use of Nylon and other artificial fibres. Newly formed anti-drug police in the USA also had a vested interest in banning hemp. Great documentary otherwise.

Lobbying is corruption

Simple and well explain documentary, continue sharing this kind awareness.
It was a pity you didn't mention in detail one of the other major reasons there was such a massive campaign to prohibition.The fact that hemp oil was a direct competitor to fossil fuels and that wasn't convenient for the big shots that owned and profited from oil companies.
and now they can hike fuel prices because most people are ignorant of alternative fuel sources. I even heard hemp can make more efficient, clean and safe batteries than lithium, wouldn't be surprised if this was true
That doesn't sound right. Vegetable oil has to be laboriously extracted by picking seeds and then pressing them, all while taking up a lot of land to produce relatively little oil. Whereas fossil fuel is just pumped out of holes in the ground. It's like suggesting a baby jamming on his first xylophone is a direct competitor to the Rolling Stones.
@@sanjaymatsuda4504 by hemp oil we mean fermenting the stalk and not the seeds

I remember reading some books where they mention hemp made products and was always wondering if it's either different kind of hemp or for some reason we went different path for some reason and now we are rediscovering it's potential.
Hemp is a staple crop .. politicians with enforcement vibes took over the world and control plants now not botanists
There are different types. It is still debated if they are separate species or just sub-species. The word "hemp" is generally used for those types that have low THC content, and also other substances that decrease the potency of THC.
So when even specialists are arguing, then you have no way regular people being able to recognize which type it is. Unless they have a laboratory that can measure the amount of THC and other stuff in it.
@@forbidden-cyrillic-handle hemp describes fiber cannabis plant ... not so much the flowering tpye of cannabis
my mom once told me that my great grandparents were growing hemp to make clothes and i was so confused because i thought it's just a drug. i hope hemp will be more popular and it wont be associated with drugs only :)
It will be more popular because the industries will require alternatives,
Business is only driven to alternatives when its source or methods is compromised.
In the past, these were never a concern unlike now.
The very doom created by the business is also what drive themselves to clean up as all they want is to grow more by their own greeds.
It's a super plant with so many uses, the fact you can use every part of it is amazing.... The flowers, the fibers, the oil such an amazing plant
It has some benefits but also some cons, THC is not good for the brain. It shrinks the hippocampus which is the short term memory/learning center of the brain. It makes it harder to store new information and learn. This makes it negative for young people who have a lot of learning to do in life.
@@larrytate1657 gonna be honest, smoking does not have a noticeable effect with the short term memory, those same young people will just turn to alcohol instead of weed

@@Mahlak_Mriuani_Anatman those are called dab pens and you can buy them at most smoke shops, they hurt whenever you hit them but smoking the plant is technically cleaner
@@paperclip4594 is it possible to make a 90 - 100% clean mimic?
The fact that its completely biodegradable is underestimated. A lycra or polyester t-shirt will take 500+ years to decompose.
Industrial hemp has been scientifically proven to absorb more CO2 per hectare than any forest or commercial crop and is therefore the ideal carbon sink. In addition, the CO2 is permanently bonded within the fiber that is used for anything from textiles, to paper and as a building material. But yes, lets keep creating synthetic fabrics from oil that take centuries to degrade, and will in the meantime poison the planet and other beings we share it with 🤪
Thanks for opening wider 👌👌👍.
It was a privilege for me to get some know how by watching this video . Especially in Sri Lanka /Ceylon this plant comes under banned farming category . According to the historical findings this magical tree had banned by colonialists in south asian countries . It was a true belief nowadays that the products of this plant have given an immense support for the different ancient societies to perform miracles in 2000 years written history in StiLanka

Ever since seeing that family guy episode completely describing what happened, I did my own research (because y'know family guy) and my god were they right. Literally used in almost everything until paper companies decided to basically tear it down with fear and politics. Because given enough time, the truth can be buried.
it was a requirement during WW2 that farmers plant hemp on a portion of their land for the war effort, probably for blankets, clothes, rope, and such.
truth can be buried.. but only for a while... truth is a pointy blade that pierces even the deepest of places, Truth always wins.

When my State legalized cannabis I was able to finally stop using opiates. I have chronic pain and COPD, now, I can manage both incredibly better than while addicted to legal heroin. 😊 My entire Life changed for the better. I never smoke, obviously. ✌ Now, hemp can help fix our environment, for sure. We can make so many improvements in how Earthlings live. The US Government doesn't want Americans to have better lives, tho. That's against "the People", not For us. Hope everyone has a lovely day!
I recently tried cannabis, and the pain killing properties of it are insane. I coincidentally had some tooth pain, and I couldn't even feel my own face lmao.
Yess they want to control u
Heroin was a trademark name for a legal pain killer. People thought it would be an addiction free morphine. History repeats itself and companies are happy to sell you the newest opoid. Of course there are people who need really strong pain killers but maybe we should generally try cannabis before opoids.
"The government" doesn't care so much as a few very powerful interests that in turn, lobby the government for change. Eg: artificial fibre companies, smoking companies, pharmaceutical companies (the biggest industry in USA - over $550 billion in 2020), and of course.. religious conservatives.

The greatest wonder about hemp is how demonized the plant is and that people do not want to use this gift.
In Eswatini (Swaziland), the Opium and Habit forming Drugs Act of 1921 is a piece of legislation introduced by the British to criminalize the plant because they feared that it would destroy their cotton industry. It is not true that the plant is inefficient in contrast to trees in terms of the production of paper. Moreover, in about the same year or so in the USA, a car was built entirely out of hemp which they saw as a threat. Indigenous people the world over have used and are very knowledgeable about the plant compared to Europeans to be very frank. It boils down to economics at the end of the day.
This was known 20 years ago. Some progress has been made but the stigma remains.
DuPont was able to make people believe their forever chemicals where good and weed/hemp was evil it's amazing.
DuPont is the enemy of humanity
@@qjtvaddict Rockefellers far more cancerous to earth.
Exactly. The military used hemp during WW1 and 2. DuPont pretty much made a deal with Henry Anslinger; who was the equivalent of the head DEA at the time to make it illegal because it was cutting into DuPont’s polyester profits.
DuPont also pretty much caused a lot of cancer when the created Teflon pots and pans. The chemicals produced from from it was just pour into West Virginia water
In my country, Sierra Leone, many young men have made a living growing cannabis for a lucrative trade in banned substance. This has had an immense impact on food crops production not only in terms of diminishing numbers in crop production but also in terms of costs for hired labour. These young men use fertilizers, and today constitute a small minority of farmers who can afford the extortionist prices of 50 kg bags of 15-15-15, 20-20-0 or urea in the parallel market. A Chang in policy will immediately allow youth and older farmers diversify not only production but also processing for local and export markets. What a REVOLUTION that would be in our impoverished rural communities. Eliminating corrupt police injustices could be a huge added bonus.
Wow, this is an eye opening knowledge. We should never replace them at the first place!
Hemp is legitimately gods gift and what’d they do ban it
Ive been growing for 21 years, my mother taught us, every year it saved us from poverty, even working full time moms never had enough for us.

The word "mistake" implies that it was not done consciously, which is not the case.
Hemp was banned to stop people from falling victim to drugs, not to hold back buildings, paper and clothing, so yes, mistake is the right word.
@@Siegfried5846 the only ONLY reason it’s called a “””gate way drug””” is because it was illegal thus getting you drug dealers all the drugies I’ve met all start on alcohol not with weed every single one started on alcohol if per say nicotine was illegal and it felt good it would be a “gate way drug” too
@@whatdoinamethis4325 Doesn't matter. My point still stands.

Thanks Regan, well done.
Brilliantly informative video, thanks.
I honestly think weed is going to be big in the future, partly because of the stress- and anxiety-ridden society we live in but also for these eyeopening opportunities this video presented, ( more eco-friendly building material, fabric, paper). Even if it's not very researched I think for sure it's not something to be pushed away but something to really consider and rediscover.
weed can increase anxiety for some
It could, but if used in gradually increased doses, that effect can also be managed. The "black market" cannabis is often "cut" meaning it's got other chemicals or substances added which aren't studied or known.
I agree with you 100% ebba but unfortunately weed, hemp, ganja, and all of it's physical and chemical propertiess are illegal to be clinically or generally researched so until then we won't know what marijuana can truly do for us.
Sounds good on paper, but it uses up massive amounts of water. We only have 1% of the total water supply to begin with
I also think this is a great opportunity for the rich to make more money, that's why it's future is bright.

The stigma behind many people's reluctance to embrace hemp was created by the US government. I remember sneaking a puff on a cannabis pipe in my younger days and almost feeling ashamed of myself for being such a naughty boy. I got that feeling because I had been lied to for many years!
Indians used it for spiritual purposes. The government made it illegal when Nixon dropped the hammer on it and made it a federal offense, prison time! Such criminals!...well, guess I'm a big bad criminal, never hurt anyone, never shot anyone....just a laid back trying to live life happily!!
Cannabis is destroying more lives than tobacco.
Hemp is god's creation
@Ideias Nacionais 🤣🤣
Yes, the key ingredient to prohibitionist policies is called psychological warfare. Convince society that the drugs pose a great threat to public safety, and the public will subsequently demand harsh policies to neutralize the threat. That creates support for politicians who then blame the drug users' moral failings for the unsuccessfulness of their garbage drug policies.
Hemp was made illegal to make way for dupont plastics.
As well as it competed with tobacco products.
Also it is mentioned in the Holy Bible, for its medicinal purposes, sweet calamus, also Kanno bos.
Could you imagine how it interfered with the progress of pharmaceutical companies.
Four valid reasons why it should be reclassified, and made legal.
This channel is amazing!
We do grow hemp in the UK, but only the low THC/CBD varieties and under government licence.
I have always been intrigued by the connection between the outlawing of hemp products such as rope and the establishment of the US man-made fibre industry.
Morocco just legalized cannabis for industrial and medicinal uses, so there could be some opportunities here.
Excellent work.🖤

Very interesting and informative
very nice video, thanks
This is a very informative piece. I love the open and factual approach to the topic of Cannabis.
It is become more and more clear that the criminalisation of the plant and focus on the abuse of the recreational aspect was intentional. If we are honest with one another, it is the players in sectors like the Pharmaceutical as well as Textile industries that championed the policies which led to how it is perceived today.
We need to overcome decades of mental conditioning and social engineering that ensured it is shunned.
With more insights and detailed research as well as demonstrated benefits of the plant, I believe the process of unlearning is well underway.
Cannabis stands to do the world a whole lot of good in the long run.
And just to point out; the use of Cannabis as a recreational substance is alright. It is when it is overused (abused) that it becomes harmful. Infact, ANYTHING that is overused is harmful to the person using it.
Alcohol is okay but when abused, we get alcoholics - but I am yet to see a Ban on Alcohol!.

Alcohol is deadly. Cannabis is a much better alternative.
No microplastics from hemp.
Hopefully, we can get around the people who have investments that will be severely threatened by all that they know hemp can do
Isn’t it weird how dabs, and rosin have amazing material properties, wouldn’t it be crazy if chronic weed could replace plastics.
It'd be expensive tho but nice idea
Wow, wonderful information. Indians have grown it for a long time( our old-time sanyasins or Swamy were known for its daily usage) but it is banned in India for a long time and yet people are using it as narcotics which will help bring those in possession of it incarceration. At present it is prohibited in India. Your documentary was very informative.
same battle as most of us, corporations and government teaming up against the people, good luck jay
This was banned in India due to US' pressure to then government. I guess it was in 1985. Blind decision taken by then Congress govt.
the way i always understood it was that illegalizing hemp was a business move. that it was done to eliminate the competition. the ones who started had a "vested" interest in companies that would greatly benefit it hemp were made illegal. they just took advantage of their constituents prejudices and ideals to make it happen
main reason was fro enforcement purposes ... alcohol taken from prohibition left a huge void in how GOV can regulate, enforce etc.... cannabis plant was targeted, renamed Marijuana to confuse everyone and then prohibited ... pharma was coming on board too at the time and needed to make all nature derived meds look horrible to move everyone over to synthetic meds etc... they rule the market now
I wonder what would really, really happen if cannabis plant would be as regulated as any other agricultural crop like potatoes, apples, or sunflower. What if we actually completely ignore that it has certain substances. I can plant nightshade and castor plant freely, and these are among deadliest plants around.
Jack Herer spoke these facts a long time a go. Hemp/cannabis is the world's greatest gift - name another plant that is so versatile? This is an amazing video stay blessed stay blazed
Good video. Hemp can be a rotational crop in a regenerative agriculture farm. Growing hemp in this way could be done to replace ethanol , animal feed, human feed, and as mentioned, paper and building. Very versatile product with multiple products.
Indeed that’s why it got banned in the first place, it’s more economically and ecologically viable than a bunch of trillion dollar industries out there which played a big role in the state our environment is right now.
Thanks that one guy who already failed with the prohibition of alcohol and then turned to a plant just bc he could, had no other job in life and was angry and frustrated over his huge failure and the fact that politicians have been and always will be some of the most corrupt - sorry for the insult y’all- “human beings” that exist in any country therefore paving the way for one of the most stupid decisions made in the history of mankind

Medicine too, I found using THC extremely helpful in helping me cope with grief. It helped stop the depression from overwhelming me. It helps with many other conditions too.
I basically forget about any pain I have.
THC kills my tourettes and helps immensely with PTSD. I'd otherwise have to pay tons for medication for either, that's a driving factor for it being banned. Greed.
Oh God, yes. Nothing else for it!
It helped me with alcohol abuse. Not a stereotypical raging alcoholic but not very far off. With THC I quit cold turkey, without any outside influence or pressure to quit, I just didn't want to drink anymore, and to this day I don't even crave alcohol, even after I stopped smoking. If I try to drink alcohol, I get sick. I have lots of alcohol at home, but I keep it around for guests/gifts/parties. I miss smoking more than I miss drinking. Why it's still illegal is beyond me. It's just another reason for companies to not hire people at this point.
@@G2Bryce Same here. It helped me quit drinking. The only problem was that 5 years later I was still smoking daily, I just traded one addiction for another. I stopped smoking recently because it's been preventing me from living my life to the fullest. It makes me afraid to be around people, and afraid to drive places. So I'd just sit at home getting high all weekend. I want to get addicted to new experiences and traveling.
wow! that was a great show!
Imagine banning a plant that doesnt even harm anyone
it does when used as recreational drug use

Psychedelics has helped me beat depression and anxiety caused by ptsd and it took a huge toll on my mental health but with the help of psychedelic mushroom I got a quick wonderful change in my view and forgave myself now I’m productive , I do my job efficiently with motivation to be better , I got mine from an online vendor that specializes in the trade of psychedelics like DMT, LSD, MDMA and more to help anyone passing through mental illness or enlightenment to understand and see the world in a clearer picture also helps with addictions
i wish those kind of industrial hemp production could be established in this country by the hands of good people.

I couldn't care less for the "fun" properties of Hemp, but I would absolutely love to see all the other uses for it.
Still, if people wants to smoke the stuff, let them as long as they are old enough
There are no "fun" properties in hemp. You're thinking of cannabis. If you smoke hemp, you get a headache. That's about it.
This uploader doesn't do anyone any favors by conflating the two though.

I am resistant to most pain numbing medications including the local anesthetic lidocaine (Yes it's as bad as it sounds, stitches and dentistry are torture.) THC is one of the few things that can ease the pain in my joints and it helps me stay positive even when the odds are against me.
Isn't THC the psychoactive substance that gets you high while CBD, already legal for sale in oil form, helps with inflammation, chronic pain and insomnia?
@@PrimoStracciatella Both CBD and THC activate cannabinoid receptors, but THC is stronger than CBD and has a much more pronounced effect. CBD is usually combined with THC when used medically for people. I've found that CBD is helpful but not enough to make my pain manageable but THC is enough to dull the pain. Without it I'd be unable to walk every day or really do anything besides lay down.
@@PrimoStracciatella CBD helps with inflammatory based pains while THC helps with Nerve related pains - CBD = CB2 and THC= CB1.
Edit - those are but two molecules out of hundreds in the plant ... no way to really base any claims on two out of 570
@@PrimoStracciatella We don't actually know how cannabis works. Weed gets you high that's something I sure know.
THC alone can get you high but that doesn't mean that it's the only thing. CBD alone doesn't get you high but that doesn't mean that it doesn't when it's taken with other cannabinoids. Terpenes interact with the Cannabinoid receptors too. Getting high and pain relief aslo can mean the exact same thing.
There's a difference between getting high and pain relief.
CBD oil is for pain relief and THC is getting you high.
THC-free CBD oil won't get you high but fullspectrum weed with high THC levels and low CBD, does and relieves minor pain.
You have to talk about the medical uses of cannabis, for example against seizures, cancer and psychological illneses
Cannabis isn't used against cancer. It's used to lower pain caused by chemotherapy.
Smoking cannabis can in fact cause cancer.
@@PG-3462 yes smoking it, and to be fair there has to be more research done, but there has been anecdotal reports of cancer patients who started using strong doses of thc(think 1-2000mg), and their cancer cleared up when the doctors told them they had a terminal illness. until proper studies have been conducted tho, these reports will stay anecdotal
Yes, smoking anything produces tar - known carcinogen.
@@PG-3462 Smoking tobacco causes cancer. I never heard that smoking cannabis causes cancer. There is minor evidence for use of cannabis against cancer
In 2021, scientists reported the final results of this phase 1 study to treat people with recurrent glioblastoma with Sativex in combination with the chemotherapy drug, temozolomide. Researchers found that adding Sativex (patients were allowed to choose the amount they took) had acceptable levels of side effects, which included vomiting, dizziness, fatigue, nausea and headache. They also observed that more patients were alive after one year using Sativex (83%) compared to those taking the placebo (44%). However, this phase 1 study only involved 27 patients, which was too small to confirm any potential benefits of Sativex, and was intended to find out if it was safe to take by patients.
@@christopherstein2024 🤦♂️ It's smoke that gives cancer. Tobacco is what makes you addicted to it. You need to understand the difference.
No matter what you're smoking, it's very bad for many organs in your body.

Linen looms and specialty equipment used to be a thing. Could hemp be worked on those instead of cotton-related machinery? Before cotton, linen used to be the de facto plant fiber used in clothing for thousands of years. A clothing historian would be great to talk with about the textile aspects.
Hey there 😊 yes, hemp could be used on linen looms theoretically. However, there are some challenges such as hemp being less elastic than linen. Hope this helped ✨
Side note but, hempcrete is probably a 2 in 1 deal for both fertilizing and ph adjusting since it also has lime in it.
Hemp is illegal, and liquor isn't? Any sense!
See mom, we need to start growing a bunch of hemp at home, its so useful
The future of hemp is now. Since early civilization, hemp has been recognized for its unique versatility and today, we are pushing its uses even further. From innovations in health and sustainability, to consumer products and construction, hemp is making a global impact across industries.
I'm watching this while smoking it. Btw, the pharmaceutical, alcohol & tobacco industries also lobbied hard to get it banned. You might want to look into that as well 👍
They tried with Kava Kava and Kratom too.
IMO the corporatization of legal "medical" marijuana is a HUGE mistake also..I'm very concerned about all the chemicals being used to produce it..these chemicals are much more likely than not harmful to users..
"Corporatization" is a very strange word. If you seen the past, capital and power will tend to pool into smaller number of entities. This is a natural progression of things. At the start a lot of very small players emerges. Then most of them failed, some of them merge. What's left are those who strong enough to survive, which are usually large organization.
@@bltzcstrnx yes, I made that word up (I think) I don't consider the formation of eventual monopolies "natural" , it's CLEARLY not good for most of us and we should be resisting it - not laying down in front of the train and letting ourselves be run over...any thoughts on the extensive chemical use I mentioned?
@@richardprofit6363 You seriously believe illegal producers don't use any toxic chemical ????
Even if I don't use it (even if it's legal here in Canada), I'd definitively have 10,000 times more trust into highly regulated corporations than into a random person producing it in his garage.
@@richardprofit6363 Legal is definetly better if you are worried about chemicals. If you grow your own you know you are safe. But dealers straight up spray their stuff with hairspray or synthetic drugs no way that big corp could be worse. It's probably not more toxic that your average cucumber from the store. It's probably like with nuclear power where it is so "dangerous" that it ends up being much less dangerous than "the normal thing" after tons of regulation is applied. But it can't hurt to watch out for big corp.
@@christopherstein2024 You're probably right...I'm remembering the good old days before dealers got those kind of ideas..What is the purpose of spraying with hair spray? Is it to make buds appear more crystal- covered ? (sorry for delayed reply..)
Very intresting.thank you to teach me.hope the best for nature.
How do we get investors for a project?
I know you mention that building regulations can be slow to update, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that changes soon.
So many people are already aware of how much emissions come from our buildings and homes so they want to update this. In addition, studies are starting to come out which show that our current trajectory with building improvements isn’t enough to achieve net zero.
I was reading one on the UK’s housing policies just the other day. The big reason for the miss is that we need to update EXISTING housing stock. So I could see hemp insulation being fast tracked for approval very soon.
Maybe I’m just a wishful thinker though…
It's an amazing plant given it's unique properties for insulation and building. It's long overdue to change building codes to go for sustainable futures for homes and buildings.
Looks like I am going to look for the hemp insulation, see if it's available here.
Politics be damned, if it's both incredibly strong, useful and absorbs CO2 many times that of lumber, it's beyond incomprehensible that we're not using it.
I have been waiting close to 45+ years for the lies and madness to stop. The corporations have made a killing on their alternative worse products, land and people paid a high price. It's time for epic changes, now!

I always thought it was strange that some people call it a drug when i can clearly see it is a plant. I can even point to it for them and pull a leaf off of it. Plant. Not drug. Plant.
hemp is going to be massive in the coming years, and rightfully so. One thing I'd love to see done with it, is windfarms. Using the fibers and resin to essentially create carbon fiber, use that for making the turbines of windmills. That way they'd be biodegradable after it's end of life. Also useful for biofuel, who KNOWS how it helps us with the endocannabinoid system inside of us, and the fact that It can almost single handedly replace paper production - something we use FARR too much of, I believe hemp is going to be a big deal.
If by resin you mean epoxy, that's not biodegradeable.
@@silvergreylion no I mean the literal resin that hemp creates itself. It can be used as a binder for making hemp based carbon fiber
@@Fenthule Can't wait to smoke retired wind turbine resin!
We also have biodegradable hemp plastic, hemp steel cars, and even hemp bricks.
i hope we wont swing all the way to the other side, recreational use of it should be banned
Favouring the internal combustion engine over electric was also a huge mistake..
Questionable. Cars in general are a bad idea. And electric cars aren't and wouldn't have been very affordable. Public transport is the future.
Amazing
Great video
Not understanding how to use hemp for the greater good was the mistake.

Thank you very much for this document. What I read is more or less what you presented. just one thing. The cotton lobbies where one of the most active lobbies working against hemp.
