Cars Run on 100% Legal Hemp!

In the 1940s, the first car made from hemp was produced by Henry Ford. The car was 10 times stronger than steel and was designed to run on hemp bio-fuel. And hemp is 100% legal!

Hemp has it's own advantages as it is lighter than most materials, and more widely available materials like sulfur, boron, and hemp instead of the heavy metals used in traditional lithium-ion batteries. The Cannabis plant often gets a bad rap for its extra-curricular uses, but people may be shocked to discover that the hemp plant has over 50,000 uses, from clothes, to medicine, to fabrics, to fuel… to… well, even cars.

How it exists!

Henry Ford Makes the First Hemp Car

In the 1940s, the first car made partially from hemp was produced by Henry Ford. The car was 10 times stronger than steel and was designed to run on hemp bio-fuel. Unfortunately, the idea quickly became obsolete as it became illegal to produce the cannabis plant in the US in 1937.

A Short History of Hemp

Hemp farming is 5000 years old, and yet due to its controversial nature, is not widely used. The oldest known records of hemp farming are from China. And historically, ships sails and ropes have been made from hemp.

Hemp is the common name for the Cannabis plant, which has been popularized for its use as the drugs, marijuana and hashish. However, the plant which has fibrous roots, stalks and stems have proved to be very useful in creating thousands of products, and industrial hemp is bred to produce very little of the THC chemical which contains the psychoactive properties that creates the drug. Hemp is mechanically similar to glass, but it’s even lighter, which helps boost fuel efficiency.
