How Buildings Made From Cannabis (Hemp) Can Change The World. If you’ve spent any time around marijuana consumers, you’ve no doubt run into the Hempster. He or she is that proponent of industrial hemp who preaches the gospel of Hemp Will Save the Planet, who reminds you at every opportunity that marijuana may be great for medicine and getting high, but the real value of cannabis is in the industrial hemp that can be made into food, fuel, fiber, plastics, paper, and so much more, man! “Hemp’s not illegal ‘cause marijuana’s a drug,” one Hempster told me, “marijuana’s illegal ‘cause hemp’s an oil!” Having worked in the marijuana law reform movement for a decade now, I’ve run into plenty of Hempsters. While I’m sympathetic to overturning the idiocy of banning an industrial crop with no properties of a drug, I’m also skeptical whenever someone presents “silver bullet” thinking that portrays complex problems solved with simplistic answers.
