One acre of hemp produces as much cellulose fiber pulp as 4.1 acres of trees!!! (Dewey & Merrill. Bulletin #404. U.S. Dept. of Age. 1916)

Finally some good science.. However hemp doesn't have the same life span as trees, so does the maintenance costs take away from it's carbon intake vs a tree's life span?
