Legalizing recreational marijuana on a national level would mean more jobs for the people. On top of that, imposing a tax (ex. 5%) could be a substitute for a loss in revenue to lower federal taxes. This way the Trump administration can fulfill its promises on lowering taxes and not hinder the national budget. It’s a win-win situation here.
Save the trees! It takes about 3–4 months for hemp stalks to reach maturity , while trees can take between 20 and 80 years. Not only does hemp grow at a faster rate, but it also contains a high level of cellulose. This quick return means that paper can be produced at a faster rate if hemp were used in place of wood.
Hemp stalks can be used as a sustainable alternative to wood in building construction, specifically in materials like hempcrete and hemp wood. Hempcrete, a mixture of hemp hurds, lime, and water, can be used for walls and insulation, while hemp wood is a pressed fiber material that can function as a wood substitute.
Hemp stalks are rich in cellulose, which makes it possible to produce a variety of bioplastics from these stalks. One of the stronger varieties of hemp bioplastic is already in use for making car parts. This bioplastic is considerably stronger than steel, as both Ford and Dietzen have demonstrated.
Hemp bioplastic is also considerably lighter than steel. The use of hemp bioplastic for the production of automobile bodies can give us lightweight dent-resistant vehicles.
