Canada is also thinking about banning MMA, even though they have one of the best fighters ever, so they are pretty retarded.

Hemp saturated with non-biodegradable polymer resin isn't biodegradable. No one said anything about the composites being biodegradable.

Yep. The Google shows Ford and England experimented with it in the past.

That sure is a looker, especially in that color.

I just get a kick out of people trying to legitimize industrial hemp because they like to smoke pot. They're fucking fanbois of a slightly different plant that you can't smoke.

Lol. This is was about hemp use in auto manufacturing, not getting stoned. Hemp won't get you high. Weight and cost are also factors in this experiment. You turned this into an anti-marijuana debate. How about some quotes?

"Steel is strong, but hardly light enough to make ultra-efficient vehicles. Many plastics are based on oil, and composite materials like carbon fibre are difficult and costly to manufacture and repair."
"..hemp grown by AITF ends up on a production line, where it is turned into a composite material that has the impact resistance of fiberglass."
"But unlike fiberglass, the hemp bio-composite is cheaper to produce and has fewer health risks connected with its manufacture. It is also significantly lighter than glass-based composites traditionally used in racing cars."
I'm using as much fiberglass as possible on my 240z to offset the added of weight of bigger brakes, wheels, and drivetrain. If there was another lighter, cheaper material available, I'd use it.
