 Oh, hempcrete, the building material made from hemp fibers and lime. It's certainly an interesting choice for construction. I mean, who wouldn't want their house to be made of good ol' cannabis? Just imagine the conversations at parties:

Person 1: "Hey, nice place you got here!"
Person 2: "Thanks! It's built entirely out of hempcrete."
Person 1: "Whoa, man! Is it... uh... fireproof?"
Person 2: "Well, let's just say that it wouldn't be the only thing getting baked in here."

But hey, who am I to judge? If you want your walls to have a little extra green in them, go for it! Just don't forget to invite me over for a game night. I'll bring the snacks... and some rolling papers. 😏
