Re:Hemp isn't that useful (Score 1)

Not all fibers are created equal. Hemp makes an AWESOME fiber for paper, as has many mechanical characteristics that make it an excellent natural fiber for composite applications. When Mercedes Benz decided to use hemp it their autos, it was not because hemp was a "groovy" material, rather because its superior to many other natural fibers and less expensive than fiberglass. Hemp is not mentioned in any marketing literature from Mercedes, nor BMW, Chrysler, Ford, etc however, all use use hemp-content composites in their autos.

One of the greatest things about hemp is the fact that it can be used for so many different markets. This is why its attractive. Its not tied to one sole end-use, such as only rope, only paper, etc. It can be used for lots of items.
