Bamboo fibers are 3x stronger than steel. Is hemp close to that ?

Don't know, can't care. Bamboo fibers vs natural bamboo mesostructure? Bamboo absorbs water? Steel varies by temper? Define 'stronger'? Bamboo decoricator?

I poked around a bit here without much result:

I'm a proponent of basalt fiber.

Hemp (cânhamo on Brazil), it's a plant from the same family of canabis (weed/drug), but it have about 40 times less psychoative than the less powerful canabis weed, and so can't produce psychological effects. Even though it's ilegal to produce on Brazil.

If it can't be used as a drug, if have no value to drug dealers and organized crime, why it's ilegal to produce on Brazil ?

Hemp fiber/oil and seeds it's very profitable :

Bamboo fiber require that bamboo tiny filamnet be cooked in water with sodium hydroxide, then mechanically separating the sections into fibers and reassembling the fibers into a mat.

Brazil lags behind the USofA, but not by much. We're just now fixing it.

Members of Congress Call on DEA to Support Industrial Hemp Industry | Big Island Now

I picked a Hawai'i source because it mentions Tulsi Gabard:

Background:
Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has long supported legislation to empower our local farmers through the cultivation of industrial hemp in Hawai‘i and nationwide, including cosponsoring H.R. 3530, the Industrial Hemp Farming Act, which would reclassify hemp as an agricultural crop.

Methinks she should be our first Veteran [hero] Hindu female President.

Maybe a genetic modification to turn industrial hemp THC (already low enought to aoid drug dealers) to zero would solve all the problem.

Maybe fixing the broken thinking in 'sum peeplez' heads would be easier.

Maybe this should be forked off into The Lounge.

Even if somebody could develop a THC-free transgenic hemp, it would still require some heavy marketing campaign to get rid of the bad stereotypes. But anyway, I doubt it will happen so soon.

Too good to be true.

Maybe one problem of industrial hemp is it look like the TCH cousin, making difficult to cops or officers to find it and charge. People would cuoltivate the bad cousin next or by side industrial hemp.

Usually the flower is where most of the THC is concentrated, while some wax resin on the leaves also retains a good amount of it. Not sure how much THC would remain on the stem or in the leaves after that wax is scraped out of them.

I still believe a solution would be a genetic altered hemp to keep TCH even lower than 0,3% or even zero, and also change something, color, flower color, that would make it easy to distinguish by cops and other oficers.
