#SaveTheTrees

I feel like an important message is trying to be communicated to me but I have no idea what it is

Our forests are being cut down 3x faster than they can grow! One acre of hemp produces as much cellulose fiber pulp as 4.1 acres of trees!!! This is super useful for so many things, especially paper production! In addition, hemp takes in carbon dioxide 4x as fast as trees do, which makes it especially valuable in the act of reducing CO2 emissions/greenhouse gases! 🌲🌲🌲 source

#the scope of the anti-hemp conspiracy in the united states is terrifying once you start doing research tbh#like it was initially smeared/banned bc lumber lobbyists pushed for it to be…#and a major smear tactic was to associate it with black people#who now a hundred years later are the ones primarily being imprisoned for it#and the plant itself has now been inextricably linked to the drug so people won’t even allow for it to be grown for commercial purposes#like paper making (via literallyfuckeveryone)

Important reminder that industrial hemp can’t be used as a recreational drug, so if anyone tries to pull that card you can just stop them then and there. There are no real arguments against using industrial hemp, even if you’re rigidly against the legalization of any recreational drugs.

also, hemp can be used for a comfortable and breezy fabric, and requires WAY less water and fertilizer than cotton.

We also miss out on hemp oil, which is made from industrial hemp. It has a lot of good fat and not much bad fat. Some people say it’s better for you than olive oil, and it’s at least as good for you. Just don’t cook with it - it smokes very easily at a very low temperature. If you can get your hands on it, use it for no-cook sauces, in salad dressing or as a dip - basically any place you would use olive oil except cooking you can substitute hemp oil.

Oh, and it’s good for your skin too, makes a good massage oil.

Also, concrete can be made out of hemp fiber. Plastic can be made out of hemp oil. So can paint.

We’re demonizing a useful plant because something else related can get people stoned.

(Note: I disagree with recreational marijuana being illegal too - I feel it should be treated like tobacco - but even if you don’t…)

Extra bonus - hemp oil is also non comedogenic, which is why it’s brilliant for people with extra sensitive skin. or any skin really. It’s the plant oil that is closest to the oil we naturqally produce on our faces.
