So, bottom line: How many forests do we need to permanently clear-cut in order to grow enough hemp to meet the lumber demand? The thing about using trees for lumber is that it means we need trees. They have to allow more tree growth if they want trees to cut down later. Switching to hemp means those trees are no longer necessary for lumber and in fact, are in the way of hemp growth. So, how much deforestation are we talking about for this "eco-friendly" alternative?
