Cool. Hemp is one of the most useful things on this planet.

"Fifty miles down the road from my house in Alberta there was an agricultural hemp processing facility and all that bast fiber, it just sits in a high bay, and they don't know what to do with it," Mitlin tells BBC News. "It's a waste product looking for a value-added application. People are almost paying you to take it away." Grow Pleurotus ostreatus with it, problem silved.

Graphene is great because of its structural and chemical simplicity. Anything “grown” is not simple structurally or chemically. Sorry 2ndDiv, I think there is something wrong here.

The potheads just won’t let it go. Next we’ll hear that America couldn’t have put men on the moon without “hemp”. LOL! The wonder drug, man!

Related: Polish chemists tried to make kryptonite and failed, but then made a huge discoveryAll the super men and women will be glad of that. However, black men's kryptonite is around everywhere. Life is so unfair.

The discoverer sounds like a stoner, but worth a ping. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

*******************
It seems this is the outer parts of the stem and the small branches/leaves ... it is likely the industrial processors are only interested in the long uninterrupted inner fibers. I would think that the short fibers would be useful compressed into a cardboard like packaging product or perhaps fiber flower pots (like the coconut fiber pots)..

Hemp seeds have a ton of calories per pound.
It’s a food source in some cultures, for both humans and animals. Historically some cultures have used it as a last defense against starvation.

... a scientist from New York's Clarkson University says he's found a way to manufacture hemp waste into a material "better than graphene." Moreover, the scientist -- known to his peers as Dr. David Mitlin -- says creating this graphene-like hemp material costs but a minuscule fraction of what it takes to produce graphene. If he's right a new industry will be created around this invention...
