  • How do they build those machines~~?

  • Fantastic video.

    Cannabis really does it all. Scientists are now discovering that the cannabinoids found within the cannabis fruit (bud) actually has anticancer properties. Check out some of the scientific studies recently done on cannabis. Check out "Cannabinoids: Potentential anticancer agent" just google it! PEACE

  • Thats all good. This video is about industrial hemp. Deprived of the high THC levels. This is about the fibers. Not the medicinal properties. Cheers anyways.

  • @Industrialfibers Ive been hearing that growing hemp for seed is more efficient if the THC is left in the cannabis strain. Apparently having the THC allows for the fruits to produce more seed. But are there tall marijuana strains that could do what hemp does in terms of using the stock for fibers? Or is the hemp strain the best for fibers? - Thanks!

  • @Industrialfibers I heard that you can get medicine from industrial hemp. The leaves will still contain CBD which is a legal cannabinoid. It can help with many illnesses.

  • There are three different subspecies of Cannabis: * Cannabis Sativa * Cannabis Indica * Cannabis Ruderalis

    Cannabis Sativa is the biggest plant, growing to around 4.5 meters with lanky spaced branches, narrow leaflets, and grows in warm lowland regions. Cannabis Indica is bushier and shorter, with wide leaflets, growing to up to 2 meters, and adapted to cooler climates. Cannabis Ruderalis is short branchless, grows wild and is of no psychotropic value.

  • Cannabis Sativa is also known as hemp, certain varieties have been selectively bred over the decades for lower THC, for it's cultivation for fiber but it is the same species of plant... There is less than 1% THC present in fiber-cultivated plants which makes the plant useless for "getting high". This is partly due to the fact that female and male plants are grown together, pollination stunting the THC producing process.

  • When Cannabis is grown to be consumed as a drug, it is the female plant that is used. The flower buds of the plant must remain unpollinated to ensure good THC production. It is these unpollinated flower buds that are then consumed by a user. Either by smoking, vaporizing, extracting the oil/resin, cooking in butter to be used in food and many other uses. Other parts of the plant may be used to take full advantage of the psychotropic and therapeutic content.

  • Come on lets be serious, hemp is a miracle plant! What other plant can cure sickness and feed and shelter millions? How many americans would line up to try tobacco protein bars and wear tobacco underwear. MY point is , all signs show that hemp aka mary jane aka weed is a good product for whoever decides to use it. If i want to use it to get a buzz, then why not..people drink alcohol to get drunk, people take all kinds of "drugs" for non medical uses. Its ok to be buzzed once in a while!

  • It is not surprising that good ideas thrive in countries were there are no lobbyists protecting a subsidized industry like cotton.

    I AM NOT a user of cannibis, and I have NO interest in it.

    I AM excited about the many uses of Industrial Hemp.

    Hemp grows anywhere (unlike cotton), requires no pesticides, is a fast growing renewable, and its strength compared to cotton is measured in magnitudes instead of mere percentages. Industrial hemp has many uses.

    HEMP? YES! POT? NO.

  • @CI9TK

    Pot's already here to stay with state laws already passed, in WA for example, you can grow 15 plants or posses 1.5 lbs of dried buds with a medical recommendation from a doctor which is not tracked or regulated in any way. You can give the same right to anyone who is your "caregiver", and they are not regulated in any way or checked upon. You can be against marijuana and grow it for someone as their caregiver. But you can't grow hemp!

  • @wangtangchangbang Yes, it really took me all this time to read your good reply and respond, in that time I have certainly eased up on Pot. I disagree with Republicans who want to legalize it and make it a cash crop like tobacco. I'd rather anyone who wants Pot can grow their own but you can't sell it - you know, keep the chemicals out. I believe you about Hemp and that policy is just plain wrong. Big Oil is a subsidized megopoly, there are plenty more and Cotton is yet another crime inc.

  • @CI9TK I forgot to mention, I STILL don't use Pot. So, it's not like I tried it and want to grow it now, it's that Pot may actually be good for some things and tying up the legal system for Pot does sound as bad as some have claimed.

  • To have an infrastructure that works and complements the implementation of growing hemp for use in industry means everything. How do you plan to handle your crop ones its harvested? Todays thoughts about sustainabillity must utilise existing technology infrastructure otherwise you have huge additional costs that will easily run down buisness before it even reached market.
