Stronger than cement and six times lighter...

" More banned technology
How would like like a building material that is stronger than cement and SIX TIMES lighter?

Better yet, one of its main ingredients in the waste product of a plant that literally grows like a weed.

Well, Big Brother says you can't have it because the plant - hemp - is "dangerous to society."

Here's the reality about cement:

1. The manufacture of traditional cement is incredibly energy intensive, so much so that many cement companies seek and receive legal variances to not only burn coal, but also medical waste and used automobile tires as fuel for their kilns.

2. After oil refineries and chemical plants, cement factories are the most polluting factories in the world, spewing tons of microparticles containing toxins like arsenic and mercury into the air."

The outright ban on the production of <1% thc INDUSTRIAL hemp in America is proof positive of a conspiracy against the people by a corporate chemical-industrial complex.

:(

As a person interested in agriculture myself,
i take great offense to not being able to grow hemp.

Absolute bullshit.

2010 watch it go to fire (puff puff)

Oregon Cannabis Tax Act (OCTA)

[The office of Oregon's Attorney General has, by law, provided the ballot title summary below.]

Ballot Title: Permits State-Licensed Cultivation of Marijuana, Sale of Marijuana to Adults Through State Liquor Stores

Results Of "Yes" Vote: "Yes" vote permits state-licensed cultivation of marijuana and sale to adults through state liquor stores; ninety percent of net proceeds to state general fund.

Results Of "No" Vote: "No" vote retains all existing prohibitions against the cultivation, manufacture, possession, and delivery of marijuana; retains current statues that permit regulated use of marijuana.

Summary: Current law prohibits cultivation, manufacture, possession, and delivery of marijuana, but permits regulated medical use of marijuana. Proposed measure replaces state, local marijuana laws exept driving under the influence laws. Directs renamed Oregon Cannabis and Liquor Control Commission to license marijuana cultivation by qualified persons and to purchase entire crop. Commission sells marijuana at cost to pharmacies and medical research facilities for medical purposes, and to qualified adults for profit through state liquor stores.

Ninety percent of net proceeds goes to state general fund; smaller percentages for education, drug abuse treatment, promotion of hemp products.

Bans sales to, and possession by, minors. Bans public consumption except where signs permit and minors barred. Commission to regulate illicit use, set price, other duties. Provides penalties. Other provisions.

THE FULL BILL IS AN AMAZING READ!

since hemp is illegal-completely harmless, very useful-it makes you wonder what other shit they are keeping from us...you know, so many patents out their on so many things...if corporate interests are keeping a plant illegal, what other things are they keeping us from using? electric car batteries, alternative fuel sources, geothermal patents, etc.

Holy shit, write this date down, I am actually in complete agreement with Roland and Driftin!! I couldn't agree with you guys more on this subject.

You know what's odd? I have not heard one mention of it in the news or by anyone connected to any major candidate.

Just seems so easy to legalize hemp, and give the US a new industry and jobs.

Where are all the facts to support it? Does it have the same compression strength as cement? Where is the creditable testing? Just because you use it as stucco, doesn’t make it a suitable building material. You can mix hay or even horse shit with that mixture and get the same results. Calling something "stronger" with out any kind of data isn't creditable......sounds like another reason for pot heads to bitch.

Move to Canada you hippies

On the flipside, if these things were released without 10 years of government review and bureaucracy and hurt someone, Ralph Nader would sue the shit out of them based on "consumer interests."

(1) School of Engineering and Technology, Deakin University, 3217 VIC, Australia

Received: 12 February 2004 Revised: 3 August 2004 Accepted: 10 August 2004
Abstract The compressive and flexural properties of hemp fiber reinforced concretes (FRC) were examined in this paper. Natural hemp fiber was mixed using dry and wet mixing methods to fabricate the FRC. Mechanical properties of the FRC were investigated. The main factors affecting compressive and flexural properties of the FRC materials were evaluated with an orthogonal test design. Fiber content by weight has the largest effect. The method for casting hemp FRC has been optimised. Under the optimum conditions, compressive strength increased by 4 %, flexural strength increased by 9 %, flexural toughness increased by 144 %, and flexural toughness index increased by 214 %.

I buy all the hemp products I can which usually are food and clothing related. It's definitely a great resource.

Sounds like another reason for you to bitch as well

In case you're serious, I'll mention that hemp was used for pretty much EVERYTHING before it was outlawed and eradicated....70 years of lost technology, either you don't grasp the scope of what that's cost us, or.... it's pretty blatant trolling.
stucco? :rolleyes:

ps - wish your hippies could come here, but you need balance. they complete you.

Do you really think the government is reviewing the safety concerns of industrial hemp? come on now...its a purely profit driven agenda, there is no other explanation.

No, hemp is outlawed. But you mentioned all those "other things" you suspect the big bad government is keeping from us. My point was that if they weren't holding those things up, you'd be bitching about how private interests buy government compliance to screw consumers.

Ahh, I see.

No I wouldn't.


Technology is our friend. Its how they use it that is a crime. When they developed new assembly techniques in the auto industry, instead of shortening the work week they fired employees. Same is true anywhere. They have the technology now to replace millions of workers, but that would ruin the economy, the way they are running things now. That tells us something about how we operate as a society. when profit is motivating your decisions what's best for the country is not always the path that is taken. Hemp is a great example of that. here's something that literally grows like a weed and has thousands of uses, but is illegal? profit is guiding policy.

You hit the nail on the head from my view point. I remember reading an article about a book/article that was written around the 1950's. This book/article was talking about the future in the business world and how technology advancements would allow all of us to have a reduced work week in some way. Fat chance of that happening with the way corporations are run. They don't have compassion for the people who actually do the earning for them on their list of to do items. With the way technology is, most people should not have to be blasting out 40+ hour work weeks.

Welcome back, homie.

Time to discuss the economy?
Any buy recommendations?
