Cannabis Uses

This is a non medical list:
INDUSTRIAL TEXTILE: twine, rope, nets, canvas, tarps, carpet, geotextiles, caulking
CONSUMER TEXTILE: apparel, diapers, fabrics, hand bags, denim, shoes, fine fabric
PAPER: printing paper, filter paper, newsprint, cardboard/packaging
BUILDING MATERIAL: fiberboard, insulation, fiberglass substitute, cement, stucco and mortar
FOODS: salad oil, margarine, food supplements (vitamens), cooking oil, granola, birdseed, animal food, protein-rich fiber
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS: oil paints, varnishes, printing inks, fuel, solvents, lubricants, putty, coatings
PERSONAL HYGIENE: soap, shampoo, bath gels, cosmetics, lotions, balms
AGRICULTURAL BENEFITS: weed suppresion, less need for pesticides than most crops, pollen isolation, soil improvement, deep roots are natural soil

I had no idea that Cannabis had even a third of these uses. It makes me wonder if industral Hemp will start to be used as a common crop in the near future.
