Do you own anything made of Hemp?

[LynneSin]

This is not a drug thread, this is a Hemp thread and I know that Hemp is suppose to be an excellent, industrial product with a variety of uses include oil & clothing.

But the religious nutbags associate hemp with marijuana even though, from what I was told, you can't smoke hemp.

The only hemp that I own is one of those fanny packs I bought somewhere for $2 that was made of Hemp (says so right on the fanny pack). I've had that thing for over 10 years and it has held up well (I use it when I go to protests).

So does anyone own any hemp-products?

made of hemp... it's kind of like linen and very comfortable when it's hot!

[yewberry]

12. Yup.

Uhhh, kind of a lot of stuff, now that I'm thinking of it. My wallet is hemp, also checkbook. A portfolio-sorta thing. A belt. My purse. Also have had a couple of pairs of shoes that had hemp uppers.

(We don't use leather.)

Nah, hemp isn't smokable.

[EstimatedProphet]

21. Sure, hemp is smokable

It would be a lot like smoking burlap, but it's smokable...:)

[Catchawave]

23. Industrial Hemp is NOT smokable.....

It's a whole different subject! Probably as much of a *high* as smoking your latest issue of Newsweek :)

BTW, this is an eco-friendly industry I support!

[EstimatedProphet]

29. Reread my post

I didn't say anything about catching a high.

[Catchawave]

35. Smokin' hemp = mainstream disinformation

Not everyone knows the difference :) Just saying :shrug:

Otherwise, why hasn't legalizing this industry just breezed through congress by now?

Oh wait, could it be the timber lobbyists are involved :)

[EstimatedProphet]

37. Nailhead, meet hammer

Big Timber is a big industry too...

[yewberry]

31. Mmmm, burlap.

A tasty treat indeed.

25. I eat cereal containing hemp seed and flax seed. . .

www.naturespath.com

And Golden Temple makes a granola sold in bulk (at Wild Oats supermarkets) called Strawberry Vanilla Hemp Granola. It's got flax seed, hemp seed, bits of dried strawberries and a vanilla flavoring in it's granola formula. Can't eat enough of it.

www.goldentemple.com

Hemp seed, along with flax seed, is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, essential in regulating cholesterol in ther body.

It's green but it tastes citrusy!

[4_Legs_Good]

32. I have a cool shower cutrain and a wallet

I've never used the wallet, though. The Shower curtain is never used for real, but it looks really cool in my cave bathroom.

33. Hemp wallet and hemp CD wallet

The CD wallet only has a hemp outer covering, though. I got my hemp wallet last year after my leather one wore out--I like it!

[texastoast]

34. Hemp hemp everywhere

My checkbook covers are hemp. Hemp hat. Hemp lip balm. Hemp body lotion. Hemp shirts.

Now if I could just find a rhythm stick . . . I would hemp you with it.

[gypsy11]

36. I have a hemp plant hanger.

Several actually, and a hemp pull over.

[LeftyMom]

38. lip balm, baby sling, diapers, a dress

some pads I have coming in the mail, some hemp oil supplement (for the EFAs,) hemp waffles in the freezer (ditto)

I want some hemp sneakers, I think they'd be cooler in the summer than my faux leather ones.

[skygazer]

39. I used to sell hemp products

I have a purse I've had for years, a wallet, a baby blanket, a pair of silk/hemp boxer shorts (very comfy), and I used to have a floor length black hemp dress with criss-cross straps in the back - very pretty. I gave it to a good friend since it won't fit me anymore. :(

I've also had hemp rolling papers, hemp string, and a great balm made out of hemp seed oil that is terrific for cuts and stings. I also used to take hemp seel oil daily as it is very high in omega 3 fatty acids.

40. I have hemp oil moisturizer

The brand is Sun Dog. It is almost miraculous. I discovered it last winter. Now that I am getting older (27), my skin dries out more in the winter. My mother-in-law had bought me expensive moisturizers and lotions. Although they worked alright, missing one day of use seemed to make my skin drier than before I had used them. I tried the hemp oil lotion, which is about 10 times cheaper per weight than what she had gotten me. It works betters. If I miss a day, my skin still stays softer and moister than if I had never used it. In the spring, I had to reduce my use because I started getting some acne.
I also had bought that brand's hemp soap and hemp shampoo. They both don't last nearly as long as more mainstram products. I haven't bought any more because they are realtively expensive for as few washes one gets compared to other products.

41. i have a hemp shirt and lotion

love them.

[Elidor]

42. My brain is made of hemp.

Superior stuff, all around.

[Catchawave]

43. Great website for Hemp info and products!

http://www.globalhemp.com/

Also noticed a recent article that California is considering legalizing it.

[nuxvomica]

44. I have some hemp stationary

It has a smooth finish and is more durable than wood-pulp paper of the same weight, though I don't know if those properties are just the result of more careful manufacture. Supposedly we could save a lot of trees if we grew hemp for paper pulp.

[RayOfHope]

45. Cloth diapers

and cloth diaper inserts and doublers. The hemp is very soft and really absorbant.

46. I have about 100 ft. of rope out in the shed

47. I have an Aloha shirt made out of hemp. n/t
