=============
I learned too that even if they tried to, a person could not get “high” on hemp (a form of cannabis).
That’s because it is not a narcotic and the levels of intoxicants in the plant are too small to penetrate our systems. But hemp has 50,000 uses and benefits. It can be made into a lightweight biodegradable plastic that can replace oil based plastics. It is non-toxic and can be grown without pesticides.
It is durable and it can be moulded and used for almost anything including electronics, containers, toys, furniture, bottles, bags, and even car parts. The most exciting thing about hemp, however, if you plant hemp it will absorb three-and-a-half times more carbon dioxide than trees as well as growing over 80 times faster making it really valuable in the fight against climate change.
Professor Brian Cox speaks to students yesterday
All of that information was thrown up by the science project submitted by three students from Millstreet Community School in Co Cork. It’s really interesting work. [RTE]
