House of Hemp

Here's a positive development. Researchers in Australia are about to conduct an experiment in house building using hemp bricks. This is actually an age-old use for the agricultural hemp plant which is said to have 25,000 other uses and that does not include getting high.

However it's new for New South Wales and Southern Cross University in Lismore has a bumper crop of hemp to work with. It's not clear to me why the experiment in brickmaking is being conducted in great secrecy as these homes are already being built in other countries. Perhaps they just want to stay ahead of the local competition. In any event, since we have been advocating for the expanded use of this beneficial plant for years now, we wish them luck with this project.
