      That reminds me I wanted to look up if the non drug use parts of marijuana plants can be processed into fabric too or if it’s any different. Like 20 years ago when google still worked. I forgot though. Also if marijuana seeds are the same food wise as hemp seeds. probably not worth the price though

        Hemp can be manufactured into clothing or ropes. The problem is, that basically nobody does this. And hemp and marijuana seeds are the same, except for the THC(not to sure if the seeds contain THC)

          Industrial hemp is a roughly $6 Billion dollar industry, globally. Relatively small, but certainly significant, and forecasted to grow around 20% annually through 2030.

            Yeah, but the market for hemp clothes is relatively small. Hemp gets used for a lot of other products, but not that much in clothing.
