When you depressed, autistic /pol/acks finally fucking kill yourselves? This shit is neat.

Thank you based anon. Those ignorant of a multi-applicable plant should really be doing some research. High cost toilet papers? Forests being cut down for paper production as well as plywood? All solved by hemp. It also filters the carbon dioxide out of the eco-system and does not require pesticides to grow. I don't see any reasons for industrial hemp to be illegal on a federal scale. I do not fight for medical marijuana, I fight for its' cousin for the American economy and the potential billion dollar industry. I do think that bullets being produced from hemp would be neat for training and eco friendly plinking purposes as hemp is quite a hard material when combined with binders.

hemp based projectiles
simunition type applications anyone?

>>32742888
Industrial hemp has untold uses, firearms and everything else.
I figure you could probably make a very nice and resilient synthetic material using hemp-fiber, something that could be used for stocks or magazines.

And not to talk about as a replacement for general consumer plastic.

>>32742965
And yet YOU are here.

>>32743088
I figure there's a lot of strong shit you can make with industrial hemp, but wouldn't toilet paper turn out too rough?

Fuck off pothead, no camouflage of legit hemp for your weed plantations.

Toilet paper is definitely in there with hemp's potential. Hemp can be combined with cotton as well for a softer texture. Give it a couple years in the US market and innovation will do wonders for us. I just don't want to see china exploiting and exporting some super hemp that is grown with chemicals(i presume for growth height; more fiber, more money per crop) and getting slammed with a lawsuit when a child gets sick from a "safe" product when in reality it was grown with chemicals. They will make an example out of hemp then. Leave it up to the US to regulate it, I say. Honestly I'm more stoked about the seeds. The protein from the seeds are ridiculous per gram.

I don't smoke marijuana or drink alcohol. I was enlightened by a few documentaries and thought I pass the knowledge as knowledge was passed to me.

Are you sure it's illegal to grow hemp in America? It's not even illegal here in Australia...

>>32743292
It is still illegal on a federal scale to grow industrial hemp but the laws are slowly changing as of this year. I believe this petition is what will help overturn the classification of hemp for all American farmers as the Hemp Farming Act only covers certain states. I just want to add as well that as a hemp farmer, they would need to regularly test their plants to ensure that it does not exceed 0.3% thc, which is what gets people high. A .22 hemp bullet would be something pretty sweet to see. Probably lower the cost on that particular round if anyone successfully makes it happen.

>>32743343
That could work, assuming you can make the projectile hard enough to allow feeding, and heavy enough to allow cycling in an automatic.

Polymer jacketing is a thing that's been happening recently. If anything, you could probably make a synthetic out of hemp-fiber which could be suitable for jacketing lead with.

The idea of industrial hemp is really exciting, not just from an application standpoint, but the fact that it'd create a lot of jobs.

I'm there with you! Thanks for sharing the polymer jacket rounds. What an interesting read.

>>32742888
Nice trips, hemp is an incredibly exciting material particularly in combination with other binders and additives I'm really looking forward to seeing what people will come up with to do with it once it is more available to experiment with

You know, OP isn't the faggot here, you are. Fuck off.

Yeah, it's pretty interesting. Look at this shit, it looks like candy. It's very clean in your bore, and actually reduces the potential for sparks against hard surfaces.

Of course, we'll never get rid of copper entirely, machined copper bullets can do some very interesting things (Lehigh does a lot of awesome shit with that), but I think synthetic bullet jackets on lead/bismuth have a very real chance of becoming the norm some day.

Industrial hemp could very well be a suitable material for making a bullet jacket, at least part of a compound, assuming you can get it just right.

>>32743568
Even worse, he doesn't want to stimulate the American economy and create jobs, he might just be a filthy communist looking to keep the industrial hemp for himself!

I do believe so as well. I'm off to the library to cram for a test but I'll leave with a quote, "Strength and wisdom are not opposing values."
