The cannabis sativa plant produces more protein, oil and fiber than any other plant on earth. Hempseed, for example, was an essential part of our ancestors' diet and is the source of "gruel," the porridge that is referred to in countless stories and books written before this century.

The longest, strongest, most elastic, and most durable fiber in nature, Hemp yields cloth, canvas, cordage, and other textiles. Hemp can be made into biodegradable plastics, more resistant to heavy blows than steel!

Hemp has the most cellulose of any plant, and plastics are made from cellulose. Currently hemp cellulose is being used as a replacement for fiberglass car parts because hemp bio-composites are lighter and safer than other alternatives.

Hemp can make virtually any building material including caulking, cement, fiberboard, flooring, insulation, paneling, particleboard, plaster, plywood, stucco, reinforced concrete, mortar, and biodegradable plastic.

Hemp hurds can be compressed into foundations which are seven times stronger than concrete, half as heavy, and three times more elastic.

Even under extreme pressure,hemp-reinforced buildings will bend, but are less likely to break, and actually continue to get harder and stronger after they set.

Hemp seed oil can be used as fuel to drive cars and heat homes because Hemp produces biomass, which can be converted into charcoal for electricity, ethanol, methanol and other sources of fuel.

Burning biomass for energy, instead of fossil fuels, helps keep the carbon dioxide cycle in balance, and thus helps to stop global warming, instead of contributing to it as the burning of fossil fuels does.
