1:12 This is the best physical example of the ratios I've seen. You guys did a great job.

sounds like Stephen Hawking hosting

You have excellent information and good video footage. What ruins this presentation is the mono-tone presentation. You need to be more alive and up beat, this is something to be excited about.

What are the cons to hempcrete?

How do I get it? Is the only question all some..

Great comments on this video. Please post if it is a Hempcrete association? club? etc. Sign me up!!!!

Cannabis Education Uncovers Our Corruption! --- From 1850 to 1937 Prohibition, cannabis & hemp were the 3rd Most Prescribed Medicines in America. Every man, woman & child used it. It was Prescribed for "Over 100 different symptoms". Before WWII, Israel was just a city, at the end of WWII, "they" created a New "Country" called Israel and ever since, it has caused new boundary disputes. Today, Israel has the Most Educated Doctors in the world! Their Dr.'s are Trained to Prescribe cannabis for "Over 100 different symptoms"...Sound Familiar? "Who" will Benefit most from this Knowledge,...the ones who "Own" the Country. --- To date, there is Not One documented case of smoking pot causing lung cancer. Ever since Nixon created the D.E.A., this gov. agency claims Cannabis has no medical value, as categorized as a "Schedule 1" drug, this way, NO Research IS ALLOWED (anywhere) into its numerous health benefits. The U.S. government itself has conducted research, like Nixon's 1972-74 Virginia medical college findings, showed Anti cancer/tumor properties, proving the DEA to be inadequate in the classification of Cannabis. The System Continues to Incarcerate Millions & the death of Millions in need of a medicinal plant that is far safer with far less side effects than any pharmaceutical on the planet. For decades, the DEA has been able to get-away with it, ONLY because they NEVER allow press / public Debates or hearings to discuss this. They know exactly how to keep US in the dark, by not Discussing Pot, they keep US from Learning what's Best for U.S. --- The United States "Government" now holds over 19 patents on the superior medicinal properties, and GW Pharmaceutical in the U.K. has over 33 patents - Here's your sign! Not only are these two countries Suppressing & Denying this health benefit, but the "Media" is also "In on It" to Fool the People. The media Lies by Not telling the whole Truth, always leaving doubt. All Media is controlled by the biggest Corporations. These corporations and world governments are manipulated by the elite or 1%. Since 1937, the media & news agencies heave Only been "allowed" to Report "Negative Only" information about "marijuana"! They are setting the stage to rake in Trillions when they fully establish their terms and conditions. THIS IS TYRANNY. --- We are All "Potmen & Potwomen" because we all have "E.C.S's", as well as natural cannabinoids in our physiology, Found No Where Else on Earth, Except in the cannabis plant. Our bodies cells & Receptors accept cannabinoids better than any Western Medicine! --- Hemp grew everywhere on Earth, & Utilized for most things throughout history. It was the backbone of thriving cultures for thousands of years. Before prohibition, it was in 80% of our textiles. All Natural Hemp has been Eradicated because it Looks just like pot but does not get you high. -- 100 yrs. ago, 1 out 20 Americans got Cancer, and since 1937, it has steadily Increased to 1 out 2 TODAY! -- 100 yrs. ago, cannabis was Outlawed (using only Lies) and REPLACED with inferior Chemical Substitutes. -- 100 yrs. ago, Rockefeller discovered that Petroleum, when taken as medicine, "MASKS" our Symptoms, hence the Birth of "Big Pharma"! -- 1960's Nixon creates DEA to destroy all cannabis (even in Nature) and schedules it as #1 worst drug. Covers Up the 74 Virginia Medical College study showing anti cancer & anti tumural effects.-- 1970's Gerald Ford grants big pharma exclusive rights to cannabis collecting patents on exceptional good health. -- 1970's & 80's Evidence indicates: Reagan, Bush, Quale may have conspired with pharma, incl. Eli Lilly. Others like; Abbott Labbs, Pfizer, Smith, Kline & French, stood to lose Billions if pot were legal. - President Bush Starts the First Medical Marijuana Study, only to Shut It Down! He never admitted or mentioned that it Helped People with severe cancer conditions. 1981 Coptic Study proves No Harm to Human Brain or Intelligence, actually increases life span. Reagan creates "Just Say No - War on Drugs" campaign, to include Pot -"As A Drug", while saying that Marijuana is probably "the Most Dangerous Drug to America"! This Administration tried Destroying the Public record, The Reagan-Bush administration, in Sep.1983, tried to persuade All American Universities,including Compendiums in Libraries, to "Destroy All cannabis research work" (from 1966-76) ! -- 2000 Media never mentions Madrid Spains Major Scientific Break-Through Discovery that Cannabis cures Cancers. Dr. Christina Sanchez is a molecular biologist at Complutense University, Spain. She has done many studies on THC, the main psychoactive constitute of cannabis, she explains howTHC kills cancer cells completely. -- 2017 Israel has the most advanced Doctors who Prescribe Cannabis for over 100 separate symptoms, giving them the Healthiest population on Earth. -- Our Federal Government & the Supreme Court are rapidly chipping away at OUR Freedoms & Rights as outlined in the Bill of Rights. Marijuana "was & still is", their principal Excuse for Taking Away our guaranteed Constitutional rights, more so than for all other crimes! ~ fb= Utilize Potman

Multi Tasking. Well this will grow any were coca, opium Ect will grow. Should be more profitable, I know people just doing what they have to to survive, Because of what they got handed, Damage from this mess. You can't take all that out without replacing it with somthing, I think it will be more self sustaining, better profit Ect. we are not trying to leave people starving, in countries, even our own Neighborhoods. It will save the Trees espeally in our rain forests, help control global warming ect.

Brilliant simple explanation, well done!

Nice but how much

See how the federal level took over this market since Hurst killed it.

the only thing i dont like about hempcrete is how most people are just turning i into mulch before mixing. why not splinter it? pulverize it to smaller particles so it creates an even stronger bond.

Sounds like a school project. I like the idea. Can this be bought in South America too?

I’d like to know the r value of your walls

A question for the makers of the video: I am assuming that the lime that is mixed with the hemp shiv is slaked lime. If so, when it is claimed that hempcrete is carbon-negative, is the energy involved in the production of the slaked lime factored in?

why can it not be use under ground?

For all the haters: President Donald Trump signed Congress’ omnibus Farm Bill into law on Thursday, legalizing hemp at the federal level. Hemp Farmers will now be able to insure their crop. Also, we are entering into a grand solar minimum that will cool our planet. Get prepared for crop failures, and food prices to rise.

I can see some applications for hemp crete but you know the rammed concrete builders will be working over time to discredit it while they continue to try to sell it as ‘green’. But when all is said and done, formed cob outperforms hempcrete and concrete on every important measure. Its load bearing where Hempcrete needs a timber frame, its fire,termite,damp,mould, vermin proof. Far more so than Hempcrete can ever hope to be. And unlike Hempcrete and Concrete it has been proven to last for centuries with very low maintenance and no loss of performance as long as you keep a good roof on it. Concrete is a nightmare. My biggest concern with hempcrete would be its reliance on a timber frame to maintain its integrity. Its an infill product really and should be named as such. The trouble is that over time the expansion and contraction of the timber frame will work against the Hempcrete infill and create gaps for Termites, insects, vermin, etc to attack the frame. This is the same problem as straw bale houses get and it starts even before the house is finished. With Earth building you have a product already available under your feet that cannot be broken down any further. Nature has already done that for you. You just mix it with water and pile it up. You will never have to worry about anything eating it, rotting it, burning it, breaking it down.

Can you pour a hempcrete slab piped for geothermal heating and holding up 16 inch hempcrete walls?

This video is a great example of summarized hemp housing subject You guys did an awesome job. Keep it up!

Hempcrete & Lime #1 USA Philadelphia Pa

Hemp grow worldwide, so it's very adaptable and resilient. It also grow and spread like (literally) weed and even grow much more faster than any tree in this world. So growing it is very easy and fast. The only reason it is still so expensive is because it is forbidden or limited permitted that the production of hemp is unnecessary pushed down, that result to low supply and medium/high demand. If it gets totally legal, that will result very high supply and high demand. It will become at least 50% cheaper than now.

It is not concrete, it does not even have common applications. It lacks portland cement and it is not structural.

Do you know if hempcrete can be used to create the foundation of a house? Ordinarily concrete is the go to material. Is it a matter of building codes from city to city?

After researching this product further, it is superbly more reasonable to use hempcrete instead of concrete. HOWEVER, hempcrete is no where near as strong as concrete. As far as I can postulate, the market would be using hempcrete if not for this fact, the stigma around the plant, and overall availability. If the price was about 20% cheaper than concrete and the stigma was removed, we would probably see a lot more of this material being used today. Some of the market would still choose to use the more robust and stronger concrete with insulation. Anyway, pass the joint.

Was this for a school project? Great subject!

note to all you would-be stoner businessmen: don't get so high you think your idea is SO awesome that even with a shit presentation it will sell. Fucking hire people who do video, branding and voice-over. FUCK.

worst video ever.

Very awesome, I'm trying to get this going in Portland also!

TRY TO SOUND A LITTLE BIT EXCITED ABOUT THIS PRODUCT? PLEASE?? IT IS SUCH A GREAT PRODUCT BUT YOUR PRESENTATION OF IT IS BORING! STEP IT UP!

i am trying to bring this to Jamaica , you guys wanna get involved ? email me [email protected]

Very good information in this video over all. I learned a lot and it is a very cool substance. My main problem with this video is that I almost fell asleep a couple times. It was very boring and monotone in nature even though it had valuable information. One of the things this group did well was use a lot of helpful visuals that let the person viewing have a better idea on what it looked like and how it works. Good project over all.
