To Wheel Or Not To Wheel ?

It's all one species, eager to please like Al Capp's Schmoon:

The nutraceutical varietals must be environmentally isolated and gender segregated. Anything growing in open air will revert to ditchweed.

Again, your looking for a botanical solution to a legal problem.

Three wheel, compact, but poor aerodynamics and not really for tall people.




A problem need to be solved by the easiest way, and in this case politics it's the difficult way.

I don't know what's gonna be the way to deal with it, if industrial hemp ever becomes legal here. But anyway, I wonder if there would be any trouble if one buys some hemp-based fabric from abroad. Not sure if the police search dogs or the Customs would notice anything at all...

But anyway, since it's better be safe than sorry, I'd stick with something more traditional.

Is it ilegal to buy even the finished processed fabric sheets ??
Chemical treatments to separate fibers probably destroys even the already very low THC amounts.
Some canhamo (industrial hemp) fabric are sold as embroidery accessory.

Anyway I don't believe it would be cheaper than use fiberglass, despite fiberglass be weaker.

Edited : If it's ilegasl my mother is in trouble. She have a large sheet of canhamo fabric (not sure if pure or mixed with cotton fibers) she used to embroidery arts.

On ALibaba it's not expensive. 1 to 1.7 dolar a meter. https://www.alibaba.com/product-deta...746418a8p6OE3Y

But epoxi resin it's still quite expensive. For other side the strong canhamo fibers would allow to build a shell quite more thin than fiberglass, reducing the required amount of epoxi resin.

In 1998,we used hemp fiber in an advanced composite course in Reno,Nevada.We did not use woven materials like cloth,mat,or tapes though,only random,loose fibers,for plastic-faced splash molds.
You could look up ABARIS ,and contact them to see if commercial hemp fabrics are available.I know that you can buy hemp apparel in the USA.

They said it's 10 times stronger than steel. For composities the strong characteristic it's the resistance of the fiber for tension, like in a piano string.

I want to see a proof that industrial hemp in composite material it's really near carbon fiber resistance.

[All Darc]

I found that on Brazil a company called Sediña have partnership (or sort of it) with China's producers of Industrial Hemp (canhamo). Maybe they have good prices for canhamo fabric sheets.

The owner of Sediña have a project to legalize the use of canhamo textile on Brazil. But our politician are paid by large industrial, who finance campaing, and the agrotoxic industry (reuqired a lot for cotton and few for industrial hemp) probably have many politicians in their pockets.

But I still want better data about resistance tests for hemp composite materials.

...better data about resistance tests for hemp composite materials.

I wonder about mixing hemp and basalt fibers to increase abrasion resistance. I'm sure the Book of Leviticus would frown on it.

Probably not, since it's obviously not meant to be smoked, but I'd still be quite cautious about it.

[All Darc]

All the chemical&boyling process, to make separate the fibers from the plant and to create the fabric, probably eliminates all remains of THC from it.
There is no logic problem for a product that enter in the country already as a fabric sheet, unles authorities are stupid.
Anyway stupidity it's a trademark of Brazil.
