  1. I’m all for growing hemp. But, I didn’t see anything sustainable or environmentally friendly happening in this short film. Maybe I’m ill informed or maybe this film didn’t explain enough. But from what I saw it sounds like people want to make hemp the next corn. Massive annual monocultures, more infrastructure, more processing etc.

  2. I have a hemp purse that I bought back in the late 70s that looks the same as it did the day I bought it! And I drag it around everywhere!!
    Homes have and can be built made of hemp. But, we still need to protect our trees. We still need to protect our land from the contamination used to depopulate humanity.

  3. It's totally insane to me that hemp production was illegal and is still regulated so tightly. Thank goodness this state has some sense. Let it grow. I'm with the farmers 100%.

  4. Patagonias marketing is so powerful because it actually delivers what it says. Most people want a better planet to live on… but so very few companies actually care or even think about their impact on the climate. Patagonia are leading the way with this and that’s why I’m never buying from another brand again.

  5. This has been on my mind. Thinking a lot of how expensive building materials have become since COVID. Remembering how Henry Ford intended to build his Model T with a type of molded hemp. There’s so many uses. Hemp bricks for building homes. Clothing. Food supplement. Clothing, paper.

  6. monoculture farms need to stop doing monoculture and they wouldn't necessarily need hemp (they never loved cannabis before this) and YES this is exactly like cotton smh. Where were the farmers in the 70's when the hippies were arrested for growing pot?

  7. Yet, government continues to grow. Time to take the reins back from big brother. government is the biggest obstacle to wealth and prosperity in the US. It is now easier to do business elsewhere.

  8. Can't have people making money…big corp taking over until they buy all the land and gets ready then they will pass the hemp bill just for big corps to profits over little farmers

  9. "Somehow we got off track." Yeah the cotton industry didn't want competition so they lobbied the worlds politicians to make hemp illegal because you can get high on the female flower. The United States used anti-mexican propaganda to push the agenda. They actually called the "Mexican Marijuana Problem." The word "Marijuana" was created to make it sound like a drug like Heroin. It was our politicians and corporations who took us off track. They still are.
