Homes made from Hemp

Homes made from Hemp building materials are on the rise. Why? Because it’s grown in rapid time. It’s strong, durable and it great for the environment. It has been well documented through the years, that hemp is one of nature’s most versatile and robust materials. Before the prohibition of the cannabis plant, it was used for many practical and medical uses, including ship sails, clothes and pain relief.  Even the American Independence Declaration was drafted on hemp paper! Unfortunately due to the prohibition, hemp and its use diminished, and instead, society relied on more synthetic materials.

In light of the recent upsurge in awareness of Hemp and its fascinating properties. It’s of no surprise that we are now finding ways to reintroduce it into our everyday lives. Including supplementing our diets with CBD. However, one family has taken hemp and its use to a whole new level.
