Would you live in a house of hemp??? Did you know recent studies show that houses made of hemp are safer human habitats then houses made with drywall, fiberglass insulation, and lead filled paints?

I would love to build a house using this product and if it's anywhere near being competitive with current building materials it'll be the deal of our lives for housing. Go Hempcrete!

There are so many benefits to using hempcrete, for housing and general construction. I would love to live in a hempcrete house! One of the many benefits, not just for the home owner but for the environment, is that it stays warm in winter and cool in summer and that would seriously reduce utility costs. Another benefit is that you would need far less timber for it's construction, so less trees would have to be cut down. Is there anything cannabis can't do? ;)
