Uses
Housing
70% of the Cannabis plant's total weight is made up of the 'hurd' or woody inner core. This part of the plant is THC free and can be used in housing construction. The silica leached from the soil by the plant combined with unslaked lime forms a chemical bond similar to cement which is both fire and waterproof (see Cannabis Homes).
Food
Hemp may be grown also for food (the seed) but in the UK at least (and probably in other EU countries) cultivation licences are not available for this purpose. Within Defra (the UK's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) hemp is treated as purely a non-food crop, despite the fact that seed can and does appear on the UK market as a perfectly legal food product.
It can be used in desserts such as "magic brownies" and ganja goo balls when purified into a base ingredient known as cannabutter.
In Canada, hemp seed food products are common and range from carbonated beverages to frozen waffles. Many companies produce value added hemp seed items that include the oils of the seed, whole hemp grain (which is sterilized as per international law), hulled hemp seed (the whole seed without the mineral rich outer shell), hemp flour, hemp cake (a by-product of pressing the seed for oil) and hemp protein powder.
Nutrition
Both the complete protein and the oils contained in hempseeds (rich in lanolin and linolenic acids) are in ideal ratios for human nutrition.
Fibre
Until its rediscovery in the late 1980s, the use of hemp for fibre production had declined sharply over the past decades, but hemp still occupied an important place amongst natural fibres as it is strong, durable and unaffected by water. The main uses of hemp fibre were in rope, sacking, carpet, nets and webbing. A hemp clothing industry was reborn in the West in 1988, and hemp is being used in increasing quantities in paper manufacturing. The cellulose content is about 70%.
Harvesting the fibre
Smallholder plots are usually harvested by hand. The plants are cut at 2 to 3 cm above the soil and left on the ground to dry. Mechanical harvesting is now common, using specially adapted cutter-binders or simpler cutters.
The cut hemp is laid in swathes to dry for up to four days. This was traditionally followed by retting, either water retting whereby the bundled hemp floats in water or dew retting whereby the hemp remains on the ground and is affected by the moisture in dew moisture, and by moulds and bacterial action. Modern processes use steam and machinery to separate the fibre, a process known as thermo-mechanical pulping.
Fuel
Fuel can be a by-product of hemp cultivation. One fuel would be biodiesel because of the oils in the seeds and stalk of the hemp, another would be biofuel from the fibrous stalks.

today i heard from a releivable source at TV that Paul Martin, Prime minister of canada, ate some weed cookies made by his wife or something like that.
just had to share it, since it seems it is the appropriated thread to talk about this
and if hemp was being cultivated in mass quantity, it could virtually save the planet. with hemp you can make any clothes, PAPER (imagine all the trees it would save), oil (could even work with a mixture for the cars!).
even Henry Ford made a car in 1929 with hemp as a component of the car.
really hemp is the future. sad tho, govs find it too expensive to grow and transform..

This is slightly off topic well not really. I was reading Top Gear magazine a few months ago and it was about Henry Ford wanting to use hemp to build his cars and they said at the end of its life you could either bury it or smoke it lol.

well this guy has owned the american government. I'd watch out though they tend to kill people they can't out smart.

I disagree. They would have just made parachutes out of something else. And besides, why are you posting this on a site that promotes weed use? I think it's safe to say most people here would rather have Bush dead, so saying that weed let him live isn't something good to say.
Marijuana Saved George Bush's Life
Ooh! I know where I can turn this trivial info (with a bit of potential) into useful info. Even though this has logical fallacies (Marijuana didn't save his life, and even if it did, that would not be positive), I will go up to this one dumbass bitch at school and tell this story because she likes Bush and she'll say something like "Whatever" or "Shut up."

The Tax Stamps issued during World War 2 read, "PRODUCER OF MARIHUANA."
This means that "Marihuana" can be legalized, taxed, and regulated as a legitimate industry.
This fight to legalize "Marihuana" has lasted the entire span of cannabis prohibition, and at no point in the last 60 years have I ever heard of America trying to legalize "Marihuana" to support our troops except during World War 2.
Did the hippies ever try to legalize "Marihuana" for the Vietnam War? Did anyone try to legalize weed for the first Gulf War? The plan worked in World War 2, but was then never attempted again.
We have to use THIS as the best argument for "Marihuana" legalization, because this is why "Marihuana" was legalized the last time. We know the difference between marijuana and hemp, but our government doesn't care.
In 1937, by outlawing "Marihuana," our government was really outlawing hemp.
In 1942, by legalizing "Marihuana," our government was really legalizing hemp.
After World War 2, by outlawing "Marihuana" again, our government was really outlawing hemp again.
Now, by legalizing "Marihuana" again, our government will really be legalizing hemp. This plan worked before and it will work again. Keep telling everyone, teachers, friends, everyone.
Legal "Marihuana" is one of the main reasons America won World War 2.

what's stopping them from illegalizing it again in their desperate time of need for money? we cant stop them, we're too fucking weak lazy and stupid, i hate us.

Don't be weak, powerless or stupid.
Download the 1942 USDA film, Hemp For Victory, and make as many copies as you can and send them to as many different political and social groups as you can.
Everyone has a stake in whether or not our military achieves victory now, otherwise, we'll have another 9-11.
Funny story, off to the side but sort of related.... 9-11-01 was actually another 9-11, because on 9-11-94, an American named Frank Corder stole a small plane and crashed it into the White House.
Who could possibly argue against legalizing "Marihuana" to support our troops when we show them proof from our own government that this is precisely the plan that helped "the greatest generation" protect our rights and freedom from Hitler?
