Technically all cannabis can be used in hemp production whereas there are desirable strains specific to that purpose and all potential crops are a 3-in-1 product. It produces (CBD or THC primarily), always hemp hurd and always hemp fiber. So it's highly malleable in GDP applications
Yeah, Ford was really innovative with his plan to “grow automobiles from soil". Unfortunately, growing hemp in the United States was essentially outlawed in 1937 due to its association with its THC-containing variant. The reality was that hemp was outlawed through efforts by bullying lobbyists representing powerful industries such as the oil, plastics (Dupont) and paper industries. But thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp production has now been federally legalized in the United States. New products like Hempcrete offer significant advantages over traditional building materials for certain construction projects. As you mentioned before, woven hemp was the best material for use in structural/automotive panels because it has all of hemp's good properties, but it soaks up less resin, which keeps the material's strength, but makes it lighter and less expensive overall. Thanks again for the info and research follow-up. We will have to see if Aptera is still planning to use hemp in the production model.
I appreciate this follow-up…Clears up the misunderstanding about what hemp is, in relation to cannabis. If it is a viable material to create a strong, light and cost-effective manufacturing material, well, …ok. That Ford actually experimented with this hemp material comes as a total surprise to me.
interesting, thanks
Okay so there you go…. don't go breaking apart your wheel pants to smoke 'em YO! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
