<< Remember folks, trees used for paper (and other wood products too, but especially paper) are typically farmed birch trees. They are planted and harvested several years down the road. Birch is used because the wood is already fairly lightly colored, and thus doesn't require as much bleaching.

Ryan,

You are right that TYPICALLY paper pulp is made from farmed trees. But we must not forget that canada continues to log 1,500+ year old trees in British Columbia for paper. I'm all for tree farms but old growth logging must be stopped NOW!! only 3% remains!!

i thought the supreme court stated that law enforcement couldn't easily recognize industrial vs thc-rich hemp and thus industrial hemp could easily be used as cover for thc-rich stuff.

We'll see how the tree hugger activists like it when they get their way and then all of the sudden there is a shortage in toilet paper... would they then suggest that we recycle that as well? Ick!:Q:p:cool::frown::confused:

There is no such thing as thc-rich hemp. There is hemp with thc in it, but if you tried to get high off of it, you would have a much worse headache than weed buzz.
