While many people may want to see in the list of applications of hemp plant an advocacy of consumption of marihuana, the fact is that drug and medicine is only a variety of the use of this plant.
In fact, the news of which the Canadian company Motivates Inc is going to throw to the market a car with bio - compound auto body, that is to say, made with hemp, shows far that we are of any thing that sounds to music reggae or that we could identify with a leaf of marijuana printed in a vest.
Nevertheless, the manufacturers cannot obviate that the select material has his particularities: to begin, the plates of hemp of which the car consists are made by material cultivated in Canada. That is to say, the legislation of Canada allows the culture of hemp, something that does not happen in the USA, for putting an example. In Spain, where it is legal to buy seeds of cannabis and to cultivate varieties for own consumption, we might find legal reefs if a company was trying to establish a plantation of hemp that probably might never be smoked but that would be easily identifiable with the most loutish part of this plant.
In fact, part of the promotional campaign of this car is based on his spirit hippie and relaxed, taking the most nice face of the drug and naturalizing his relation with this plant. Medicinal Cannabis, legalization for own consumption, alternative uses of the industrial hemp… seems that the panorama is changing and places like the headshop where to find all kinds of useless devices and merchandising associated with the consumption of cannabis are increasingly near our screens or our houses. Any alternative to the illegal retail of drugs or to the indiscriminate emission of pollution in the manufacture and use of vehicles must be a welcome like what it is: the work of many heads put to the service of the idea of improving the world.
