The Benefits of Hemp in Construction

I am confident, not only in Hemp as a, if not "The" Healthy Alternative Material in creating more Sustainable Building and Construction. I am just as confident in my/our ability to build what you need, that is why I do not mind sharing other builders, companies or their opinions and/or links on it here with you.

A quote from http://hempconstruction.com/advantages-of-hemp/


Hemp is an annual culture which doesn’t fear competition, thanks to its great vigour. It doesn’t require pesticide treatments. Hemp is the number one choice plant for the control of unwanted plant growth and cultivation rotation.

Moreover, compared to a forest, hemp will be four times as productive in biomass for the same surface. Therefore, it is a very generous cultivation that offers solutions to abusive deforestation.

The warm comfort of hempThis vegetal-mineral material is of great softness. The main advantage of using hemp as the basis of a construction material is the unique and warm comfort that hemp cellulose fiber brings. This fiber is very rich in silicon oxide. It actually is riddled with quartz crystals that radiate light and warmth. This is confirmed by exceptional results when it comes to energy effectiveness. In average, we observe 50% of energy saving.

Technical qualitiesThis rich in silicon oxide particle has a very favourable behaviour when it comes to masonry. Its great absorption capacity brings important technical advantages.

The formwork technique allows a great amount of architectural creativity as well as the flexibility required for the creation of curves.

A higher qualityThe durability of this vegetal-mineral material is nowhere to be doubted; since many centuries, the use of clay and lime has proved itself. Entire towns are built with this technique that Italian masons call “loving marriage”. Adding to all these advantages are its animal repulsive and non-flammable characteristics.

  1. Comfortable
  2. Favourable to masonry
  3. Breathing
  4. Durable
  5. Repulsive to harmful animals
  6. Non-flammable

The History of Hemp in  Kentucky

I quote Hemphasis from America's Harried Hemp History by John Dvorak Hemp Historian -
http://www.hemphasis.net/History/harriedhemp.htm

"Kentucky first planted hemp near Danville in 1775. In 1790, hemp fiber was first advertised for sale in local papers. The hemp industry rapidly expanded and Kentucky became the industry center for the next 100 years. Most of Kentucky's hemp was grown in the "bluegrass" region that includes Fayette, Woodford, Jessamine, Garrard, Clark, Bourbon, Boyle, Scott and Shelby counties. In 1811, there were almost 60 ropewalks in Kentucky, and by the late 1850's, more than one-third of the 400 bagging, bale rope and cordage factories in America were located there. Later in the century, the production of cordage and bagging did not prove to be profitable using domestic hemp, so production was ceased as imported Manila and jute fibers were substituted."

Hemp was in fact, Taxed during the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act a Tax which though it recognized the plant as Legal was so hefty it created it's Prohibition = "did not prove to be profitable using domestic hemp" until the Tax was repealed by Timothy Leary in Leary vs The United States as being unconstitutional = You the individual citizen have a Constitutional Right to use hemp untaxed! Despite the lies of an unconstitutional C.S.A. by D.E.A.

Today according to Kentucky Government -

Hemp history
"Kentucky's first hemp crop was grown in 1775, and Kentucky went on to become the nation's leading hemp-producing state in the mid-19th century with peak production of 40,000 tons in 1850. U.S. hemp production declined after the Civil War, and almost all of the nation's hemp was grown in the Bluegrass region of Kentucky. Federal legislation passed in 1938 outlawed production of cannabis, including hemp, in the U.S. Hemp production in Kentucky and the U.S. ramped up during World War II as part of the war effort but fell again after the war and ended with the demise of a small hemp fiber industry in Wisconsin in 1958."

Funny how they leave out why... or what happened as a result and/or how things have changed throughout history. Isn't it? While notice they are marketing Hemp in Ky again. Just look at the link it's self = how it is written above.  ky agr / marketing / history = Our Government admitting that they have marketed History = Sold the story for profit. It is found under the "Plant Marketing" tab on that page or site. So follow the money trail...
