Hemp as a Cash Crop

From clothing, to rope, to building insulation, a group of would be entrepreneurs want the state to legalize industrial hemp. The weed, a non euphoric version of marijuana is a cash crop in some counties and is heartier than cotton or synthetic fabrics. Bob Clayton of Tarpon Springs build a house using hemp insulation that cut his heating and air conditioning bill to less than 80 dollars a month.

“Florida has a unique environment. We can pull three or four crops year out of Florida. In North Dakota, they can only get one. So, we have great potential for hemp in Florida that no other state has.”

Two bills have been filed to allow the industrial growing of hemp in Florida.
