"After a half century of prohibition, hemp has now been legally grown in Canada for three years, but still has an image problem. By now, most people are aware of hemp i.e. it has 25000 uses, it’s the sober relative of the cannabis plant, it doesn't get you "high" etc. Hemp is well known as a good fibre crop. Enduses for hemp fibre include clothing and household textiles, paper pulp, building materials from fibreboard to roof shingles to concrete, biodegradable automotive components, cordage, highly absorbent animal bedding and garden mulch too"
