Just imagine that you are a carrot, happily growing, waiting for your chance to produce flowers and seed, when something rips you out of the ground by your head. They wisk you away, drowning you under frigid water to wash away the soil that nourished you. Then a metal device peels your skin away, several strips at a time. The pain is unbearable, you can't wait for it to stop. You are laid down on a large platform, and a huge blade comenses to chopping you, from your toes up. Several pieces of you lay there, when you are scooped up and dropped into a pool of scaldingly hot water.
"Mama, I don't liked cooked carrots!" "Well, eat them anyway, I've gone to a lot of trouble to fix dinner."

Um, sorry, but you are wrong about that. Trees release oxygen into the air after converting the carbon dioxide that they intake. Trees are also used for paper pulp, food and medicine. Among other uses...

That guy was making a generalization about me saying that cows and chickens provide us with food. His statement was sarcasm.

It makes me very angry when I think about the fact that trees don't need to be cut down for wood products. We've got the wonderly renewable and reliable resource in hemp for Christ sakes.
The fact that people stand for that is a good sign that the government has us completely and utterly brainwashed.

I with you there. Hemp can be used in so many different ways that it is tantamount to evolutionary suicide to ban it's use.

Other than clear cutting, I have no problem with using trees as they are also a renewable resource.

What is "clear cutting"?
Trees may be renewable, but it takes a tree 50 years to grow and 50 days for hemp to grow.

Clear cutting? While I feel you're pulling my leg... it's a complete removal of the trees. I prefer selective cutting.
Ever try to make a 2x4 out of hemp?

Nevertheless a building material similar to plywood has been produced from hemp that out performs conventional plywood in strength and durability. It's been a long time since I read the article that discussed this but if I can find it I will link to it.

I'm pretty high on the environment but I see it as a resource. I don't worship it nor do I think it has any special value other than to serve mankind.

I agree with you luvdem. Selective cutting and proper forestry techniques actually help the environment. Sadly, most enviro-Nazis ignore these facts, and would rather keep us out of nature altogether.

While I admire his ingenuity, I'll stick with wood for building as it looks a bit nicer when stained. If I was going to paint the surface, hemp would probably be just fine although I'll reserve judgement until I have a piece in my hand. There are many uses for hemp. There are many for wood. Trees grow back.

Hemp generates huge amounts of plant material in only 3 months, I believe its something like 4 times more efficient (concerning land usage) than wood.

Should we clear out the pines used for lumber and instead of re-planting forests, re-plant with hemp?

I agree that hemp has many benefits, but with responsible forestry trees are definately a renewable resource.

I was merely giving some info on hemp. But if we had used hemp to create paper, wood and even clothes in the first place then we wouldn't have needed to chop down some many forests. Btw replanted trees are not forests they are another form of farming just instead of animals were rearing and harvesting trees. Forests have entire ecosystems that cannot be replaced in a year by simple replanting.

There is a lot more to proper forestry than replanting.
