My point is, most of the times I hear some praises for hemp as an industrial feedstock, it's from some pothead who is more willing to smoke the weed. So it may seem harder to address this issue seriously from a conservative standpoint which could lead to a better acceptance of hemp fiber. On a sidenote, bushings for the pins of the eyebar chains of the Hercílio Luz Bridge were originally made out of hemp fiber, but I'm sure the replacement ones are not.
