RE: Replacing Cotton With Hemp

in #hemp7 years ago

So there are economic and environmental benefits from growing hemp, yet farmers growing cotton. I wonder if this just inertia or there are other reasons for this? 🤔

Sort:  

great question... This is food for thought.

i'm willing to wear Hemp clothing - apparently, it absorbs one's perspiration readily -- and then releases perspiration quickly. So it has definite benefits; it "breathes" well

it's anti-microbial, too

I read about health benefits of hemp clothing too, possibly even killing bad bacterias on your skin. So I wonder if there is a strong cotton lobby preventing hemp uptake.

Yeah, wouldn't it be just like those Lobbyists in washington D.C.

Evidently, in 2017 the National Cotton Council spent $750,000 ♦♦ It was $820,000 in 2016. In 2013, they spent almost 1 million

Hehe, those Lobbyist turds -- don't ya just love 'em?

That's what I was suspecting. It will take time to build hemp lobby 😁
