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.
You don't really understand. You should've stopped with just those words.

He's not talking about substituting a sheet of plywood with a sheet of hemp. He's talking about INCLUDING hemp in construction wherever it's appropriate to do so.

And by doing that, the price of wood goes down because of supply/demand. The less you need wood, the lower its price. This isn't about replacing wood with hemp. It's about supplementing wood construction materials with hemp materials to keep overall costs down.
