If the housing contractors started using hemp to build houses, guess what happens, the price of wood comes down, and you get to build your work bench, OR, better yet, use hemp wood to build your work bench. Hemp, it's not just building blocks. Wood, clothing and other items are made from hemp.

I don't need an economics 101 lecture from you about supply and demand. Where is the viable substitute for a sheet of plywood? Well I really don't need to ask because you already know there isn't one available hemp or otherwise. Therefore I can understand why people are concerned by the hugh price increases.

I don't really understand your agenda by being critical with your comments about complaining and being critical and adverse to change. You don't know me and I think you are being unkind.
