I've have been at the frontier of Hemp for many years, it will be easier to grow hemp if we don't have the pest issues!!! The spider mites, russet mites and other pest kills hemp business
There is a company right here in the U.S. that is using hemp as an alternative to steel rebar in concrete. It is also using hemp in the concrete blocks as you mentioned in this video. In fact, in January, Hempcrete was submitted as an appendix in the International Residential Codes (IRC) by the US Hemp Building Foundation.
The company that I am talking about is Puration Inc. Stock symbol (PURA). It's an OTC stock, that is also part of USMJ which is North American Cannabis Holdings that specializes in legal marijuana products used in the health industry as well as recreational uses. If the Senate passes the bill to decriminalize marijuana, you will be hearing a lot more from USMJ, PURA, and PAOG
Exciting stuff—thanks for sharing, Matt and friends! We’re hoping to build our home with hempcrete blocks and/or insulation. Has anyone out there done it? How was it?
Although he said at the beginning of the video that this product has been gaining attention, I haven't seen hardly anything happen since I became aware of hempcrete 10 years ago. I wish the US Government would get behind this kind of construction. Get farmers another crop to grow, give home construction a product that really ticks all the marks. Home construction materials in the US is poor, but this would be a step in the right direction.
It's more expensive, but not a lot more expensive than concrete + insulation. So it's juste more ecological, but less resistant to pressure, so it's just good for residential houses with low density, not a 4 floors appartment. I'm not convinced yet
Me living in my hemp house while China is dumping 11.47 billion metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere each year. Oh, and that's just CO2 not any of the thousands of other ways China pollutes the world. I am just pointing out that this is all worthless with countries like Indonesia and China Operating currently
Hemp has been proven to be 10 times stronger and 30% lighter than steel, stronger and lighter than brick, stronger and lighter than concrete, far easier to work with on-site meaning you can get the job done in half the time at a fraction of the cost+ more versatile making the design possibilities practically limitless you can use this product as much as you would like or need without leaving any excess poisonous polluting toxic waste behind. Not to mention it makes over 26,000 different things. To simplify how valuable it is I will simply say it can be used as a power source, building material, clothing fabric, high source of nutrition, medical remedy, and by using your for everything we can we will be systematically improving upon maintaining the quality of our air water foods landscapes working living environment thus classifying as clean high paying jobs.
I come from STEEL TOWN….my particular town made STAINLESS…and across the river…..they made ALUMINUM…and crossing the river again….GLASS. I would venture that VACUUM INSULATED GLASS WITH SOLAR CAPABILITY…AND A FRAME OF METAL AS A SKELETON….AND THE HEMPCRETE BLOCKS…..<<<<<<<>>>>>>> IN A PERFECT WORLD !……..the structure would LAST and the hempcrete can be serviced out in cycle
Someone, whose name we know, colluded to suppress, the existence and use of hemp fiber, et al. Inevitability is a glitch. We knew in the 19-70’s how the way culture and laws would change. If any one witnessed the smuggled hemp trade, of the 70’s and 80’s, there existed , our knowledge of change. At the time, as peasant dent ray-gun shut down the U.S. solar industry -tax opportunies, i was prepared to build. As it dried up, I became a hemp farmer. I should mention, that creating new industries, has risk. Yet knowing that solar, and wind power, and hemp , are in-evit-able. Then we changed the weed laws. I was paid to educate the investors.. bye.
Love the possibilities of this as I’m interested in the fire resistance. The characteristic I’m not so crazy about is the course appearance of it. Are there any finishing techniques for the inside, or is traditional sheet rock used. I guess you could manufacture bricks with finely ground hemp toward outside.
If you grow marijuana out of doors camp is not a good thing to be grown for you it can interbreed with your pot it makes it worthless by drastically lowering the THC in your product that used to be banned in most states however they been lifting these bands I suspect influence from the hydroponic growing community seriously providing funds to the local legislators as well as state legislators somebody needs to remind these legislators that this money is highly suspect the federal government does not view this money as being legal
I'm tired of this whole carbon crap. You do realize that humans are carbon. Which means humans are to be eliminated as well. The whole carbon-neutral thing is a tax-and-spend scheme and you bought into it.
Hemp has been around since the dawn of time and Corporate America along with government which is behind the carbon neutral movement is who got rid of hemp as an industrial product over 100 years ago in favor of wood cotton and other materials. If you want to talk about hemp and hempcrete because of how it's good for Humanity and helps The Human Condition along with being good stewards managing the planet, then we can talk. The world needs carbon dioxide. Without carbon dioxide hemp cannot grow and the planet dies. The reason for the carbon neutral narrative is that the globalists want to control everything including the air we breathe and the carbon dioxide plants breathe. When you control the carbon dioxide you control the amount of plants on the planet. I don't know if you've noticed, but the excess carbon has greened up the planet. Also did you know that most greenhouses use CO2 generators to increase plant growth. Go figure. And by the way plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen which humans need to survive. This is the last video I'm watching of yours and yes I'm changing the channel.
Hemp was a major $ crop, due to chemical corps. lobbying efforts that produced marijuana prohibition, aimed at African-Americans who used it as a healthy alternative to alcohol. A renewable resource that the outlawing of it has created an ecological time bomb. Millions die for plastic & polyester? What are we to think?
One aspect about hempcrete I love is that it doesn't appear to need sand. Sand is a diminishing resource that could be lessened by increased use of hempcrete in a variety of construction applications.
Please do a show on waste styrofoam concrete blocks for residential and commercial construction. They are fire-, mold-, earthquake hurricane-, termite-resistant, with high insulation values. There are a few companies: Apex, Perfect Block and others.
Total propaganda. Hemp products are inferior. Hemp rope stiffens and crumbles with long term exposure to elements. Hemp clothing is stiff and scratchy, massively inferior to modal cotton and modern acrylic/rayon fabrics. These hempcrete blocks are too light and are unproven under various torsional loads; I wouldn't trust them to last in a house more than 30 years or so. Keep your hemp, stoners !!!!!!
The cotton industry hates hemp and has been instrumental in vilifying low THC hemp. I've used hemp tents and hemp rope for decades, a far superior product to plastic, jute or cotton.
Hi Matt, love the channel and info. For an expert on this subject look up Dion Lefebvre. A pioneer at this technology and trying to educate and inform the public and government of Canada on getting hemp into the building code. You won’t be disappointed.

Every time I see something like this it costs a fortune. Hemp blocks are currently 3 times more expensive than concrete blocks.

How about round nubs
Hows its sound asorbsion? I imagion it would be better than plaster board and concreate?
If we could not smoke it we would never know of this. Im waiting for a hemp roads too.
Yo even better though – carbon capture with new eco concrete. Makes a super rugged foundation.
thank you

I’d like to combine bamboo house frame with hemp Crete in the walls
do thermites insects eat hempcrete too?
The Hurst paper company F***ed us all for 80 years.

Big Fan of Hemp. Lots of hemp-plastic choices out there too 👍
except it will never replace concrete since it is a NON structural material.
Hemp is naturally insect, disease, mold and fire resistant.

Gonna build my house with hemp blocks in a few years, let's see how it will hold up then! Hope I remember this video so I can share the knowledge
Can hemp be mixed with concrete for benficial building
as long as we live in a capitalist hellhole where environmental destruction is profitable this will never happen
I think is just GREAT, also so is your presntation!!
Spreading the word on sucg Great alternative. Thank you.
Hemp concrete should be manditory for all future homes!
I have an even better idea. mud walls – cheaper, more fire resistant, more insulating, more strength, less pollution and locally available 😎
Please do a show on waste styrofoam
concrete blocks for residential and commercial construction. They are fire-, mold-, earthquakehurricane-, termite-resistant, with high insulation values. There are a few companies: Apex, Perfect Block and others.When the hemp-crete releases the absorbed moisture, does it also release heat, keeping the structure cooler?
Marijuana? Thought you where a smart dude…😢

You are a terrible capitalist. Stupid commercials
Hi from the UK, where if you try to build your own house they arrest you
This seems really promising for certain applications! Any word on how it stands up to severe weather, such as the high winds from hurricanes?
Hi Matt, love the channel and info. For an expert on this subject look up Dion Lefebvre. A pioneer at this technology and trying to educate and inform the public and government of Canada on getting hemp into the building code. You won’t be disappointed.
I wonder what would happen if you put hemp in concrete, essentially combining hempcrete and concrete
hi) thx for video, super helpfull) I'm very interesting in this topic
