As Lumber Prices Surge, Hemp Blocks Get a Closer Look — HempBuild Magazine
Your comment about aversion to change, and liking to complain is a big stretch. I have not seen any hemp products or any other substitutes available at any price in the lumber yard to substitute for a sheet of plywood or 2x4s. Not every use for wood products involves building house side walls. As example, I can't use a hemp block to make a work bench for my garage. Until their are viable substitutes, I fully understand the complaints about the 300%-400% price increase in structural lumber.

Or do you just like to stir the pot?
