Before the term 'eco-friendly' was even a twinkle in a marketing executive's eye, automotive pioneer Henry Ford was already thinking green – specifically, plant-based green! In 1941, Ford unveiled a car with a body made from a bioplastic composite, famously dubbed the 'Hemp Car' (though it also incorporated soybeans, wheat, and corn). Ford envisioned a future where industry and agriculture worked hand-in-hand, creating lightweight, durable, and rust-proof vehicles from renewable resources. He even demonstrated its strength by famously striking the trunk with an axe, leaving nary a dent! While the outbreak of WWII put the brakes on mass production, Ford's innovative spirit reminds us that cannabis, in its industrial hemp form, has been driving forward-thinking ideas for nearly a century.
