Another issue is that the entire hemp plant cannot be economically prepared for paper production. While the wood products industry uses nearly 100% of the fiber from harvested trees, only about 25% of the dried hemp stem—the bark, called bast—contains the long, strong fibers desirable for paper production.

Hemp paper is a valuable alternative to conventional paper made from trees, and could provide a more renewable source for much of the world’s paper needs. The very first paper in the world was partly made from hemp, and as a plant, hemp is more suitable for paper as it has a higher cellulose and lower lignin content.

Compared to its wood pulp counterpart, paper from hemp fibers resists decomposition and does not yellow or brown with age. Hemp pulp does not require bleaching or as many chemicals as wood-pulp. Using hemp instead of trees could dramatically decrease the number of toxins and chemicals polluting the earths water supply.

Hemp paper is more environmentally friendly Also, the plants themselves grow much more quickly and densely than trees: one acre of hemp can produce the same amount of paper as 4 to 20 acres of trees in a twenty year period.

Hemp converts CO2 to oxygen better than trees. Hemp produces more oil than any other crop, which can be used for food, fuel, lubricants, soaps, etc.

The going market for hemp fiber is about $260 per ton, with the average yield being between 2.5 and 3 tons of hemp fiber per acre. Given that the cost of production is comparable to the hemp grain market — $300 to $350 — you’re looking at making up to about $480 per acre in profit.

Sod produces more oxygen than trees.

Hemp stalks release atmospheric carbon dioxide by burning for energy purposes. Hemp plants used a lotof this carbon dioxide released during the growing season. The high amount of oxygen provided by the atmosphere is due to the rapid growth of the hemp and its abundant leaves.

Hemp has always been a better natural resource than trees. In terms of quality and performance, hemp fiber stands out as probably the strongest and most durable fiber in nature. In addition to being 10 times stronger than wood fiber, hemp is four times stronger than cotton.

So the answer is no. Hemp is not only less efficient at producing oxygen than trees, Trees themselves are not even the best at it either, plankton being twice as efficient and grasses being 4–5 times more efficient than trees!

The average indoor plant will produce 900 ml of oxygen/day or 27 litres of oxygen a month, if we say the average growing plant has 15 leaves and each leaf gives an average of 5ml oxygen/hour for 12 hours a day. It will take the average person around 3 minutes to consume that amount of oxygen.

Two mature trees can provide enough oxygen for a family of four.”

As it turns out, trees go to sleep too. Most living organisms adapt their behavior to the rhythm of day and night. Plants are no exception: flowers open in the morning, some tree leaves close during the night.
