Because of its versatility, it finds increasing use in bioplastics, construction materials, fuels, and CBD products.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>It absorbs between 8 to 15 tonnes of CO2 per hectare compared to 2 to 6 tonnes captured by forests. In comparison to conventional agriculture (which emits about 3 tonnes of CO2 per hectare), hemp farms present an even better scope.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>_<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer: With very few exceptions, medicinal cannabis is not an approved medicine in Australia and the TGA has not assessed them for safety, quality or effectiveness.
