  7. The buildings constructed from #cannabis

    Francesca Perry, 18 June 2023

    Excerpt: "In search of #sustainable materials, architects are turning to an unusual source: #hemp.

    "Surrounded by verdant fields, Flat House, which sits on a farm in Cambridgeshire, the UK, looks like a typical barn conversion. But inside, the look and feel of the building immediately make you realise this is something quite different. 'The walls remind me of hay bale dens we used to make as kids,' says Flat House's owner Gemma Barron. 'It has the most lovely acoustic quality. And last year we had the heating off for 24 hours in mid-winter and it stayed warm.'

    "What makes this bright, airy and comfortable home unusual is the material used to build it: hemp. While we may be more familiar with the cannabis plant's association with the psychoactive substance cannabis, and its use in health supplements and textiles, hemp is rapidly becoming a sought-after sustainable construction material.

    "The fast-growing plant is a renewable resource, with carbon-capturing properties. When used in building, it typically takes the form of 'hempcrete' (also known as lime hemp concrete), a sturdy material made by mixing #HempHurd – the woody core of the plant – with a binder made from water and lime. Hempcrete has a high thermal mass, making it an ideal insulation material which improves the energy efficiency of buildings and reduces greenhouse gas emissions over time. It also continues to absorb carbon over its lifespan.

    "Sustainable materials are in high demand as the construction industry seeks to decarbonise. Buildings and construction are responsible for approximately 37% of energy and process-related global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. This is due to the industry's heavy reliance on fossil fuels, including carbon-intensive materials such as concrete, steel and glass, as well as the greenhouse gases emitted in heating and cooling our buildings."

  22. Nine buildings constructed using #hemp show the biomaterial's potential

    Nat Barker | 6 January 2023

    Excerpt: "Hemp is becoming an increasingly popular material among architects seeking to reduce the carbon impact of their projects. Here is a roundup of nine buildings constructed using the versatile cannabis crop.

    Mounting evidence suggests that the construction industry must adopt bio-based alternatives to common carbon-intensive building materials, such as concrete, to play its part in reducing emissions and limiting global temperature rises.

    One such alternative gaining increasing attention is hemp, the fast-growing cousin of the marijuana plant that is already widely used as a biofuel and textile.

    Cambridge University researcher Darshil Shah previously told Dezeen that hemp can capture atmospheric carbon twice as effectively as trees.

    In buildings, it is often used in the form of hempcrete – a composite of hemp fibres and lime that is durable, highly insulating and mould-resistant.

  27. Welp. I guess we can't have nice things at all. As if the spending bill wasn't bad enough, we just banned most #hemp products for some reason. Maybe we should start voting for people who actually might want to help people. Instead of like, the opposite, ya know?

  29. #RhodeIsland #HempIndustry faces uncertainty amid federal crackdown on #THC products

    by Christopher Shea
    Thu, November 13, 2025 at 5:50 AM EST

    "Mike Simpson is one of Rhode Island’s biggest cheerleaders for hemp cultivation and the plant’s derivative products — remedies, he believes, that may help where pharmaceutical medicines cannot.

    "It’s that very reason Simpson helped co-found Rhode Island’s only outdoor hemp farm, where he says many of the business’ products ship all across the country.

    "But Lovewell Farms’ may cease operations now that Congress has approved reopening the federal government under legislation that would effectively ban hemp products containing more than 0.4 milligrams of THC. If approved by President Donald Trump, the ban will go into effect in a year.

    " 'This might be the final straw,' Simpson said in an interview Wednesday. 'I may have to shut my whole company down.'

    "Simpson doesn’t sell intoxicating products, but said crops grown at his Hopkinton farm can contain up to 1 milligram of THC in it, as is allowed under existing Rhode Island hemp regulations.

    " 'I have 700 to 800 pounds of flower that I grew this year that under that law would not be legal,' he said."

    "Mike Simpson is one of Rhode Island’s biggest cheerleaders for hemp cultivation and the plant’s derivative products — remedies, he believes, that may help where pharmaceutical medicines cannot.

    "It’s that very reason Simpson helped co-found Rhode Island’s only outdoor hemp farm, where he says many of the business’ products ship all across the country.

    "But Lovewell Farms’ may cease operations now that Congress has approved reopening the federal government under legislation that would effectively ban hemp products containing more than 0.4 milligrams of THC. If approved by President Donald Trump, the ban will go into effect in a year.

    " 'This might be the final straw,' Simpson said in an interview Wednesday. 'I may have to shut my whole company down.'

    "Simpson doesn’t sell intoxicating products, but said crops grown at his Hopkinton farm can contain up to 1 milligram of THC in it, as is allowed under existing Rhode Island hemp regulations.

    " 'I have 700 to 800 pounds of flower that I grew this year that under that law would not be legal,' he said."

  34. ‘The #HempDoctor’ warns of devastating impact in #NorthCarolina from new #THCBan

    Shaquira Speaks
    Wed, November 12, 2025

    HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — " 'We have people that range from age four all the way to 95 years old coming in for the products. And they don’t all come in for the products that make them feel euphoric,' says The Hemp Doctor owner Robert Shade.

    "He’s been running the Huntersville business since 2018, providing products like gummies, seltzers, and even oils for consumers looking to relax or reduce pain. They contain tiny amounts of THC, the same active chemical in marijuana.

    "That will come to an end when the spending resolution to reopen the government becomes law. It contains language that would make all products containing THCA and Delta-8 THC illegal — again.

    "That’s 99% of the products in Shade’s stores.

    "In October, 39 state attorneys general called on Congress to clarify the definition of hemp — arguing THC products are intoxicating, like marijuana or alcohol.

    "The Trump Administration signed the 2018 Farm Bill, legalizing the sale of hemp-derived THC products if they contained less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight. A product containing THC in quantities beyond that threshold would be considered marijuana.

    " 'It would decimate the industry. You’re talking about the loss of a $70 billion industry, over 300,000 jobs across the country. And it’s a surprise to all of us. I mean, we saw things coming, but we didn’t know it was going to be so detrimental to us,' Shade said.

    "The new measure would give businesses one year to close down shop, unless Congress revisits the hemp issue.

    " 'We have 365 days to continue the fight, which is really asking every single person out there who uses these products to contact their senators, their state representatives, and tell them to change the amendment. Don’t let this go through,' Shade said.

    "Shade urges people to call even when the bill passes, telling them to ask their representatives what they’ll do to make it right."
