On the eve of Marc “Pot King” Emery’s extradition to the United States for selling marijuana seeds over the internet, it’s a good time to start thinking about the green you can get out of the Green.

Arguments about the drug aspects of cannabis aside, hemp itself with THC-removed has many benefits. Car manufacturers stuff car dashboards with it, some stalwart home composters use it to enrich their compost with carbon, and hemp seeds have, somewhat ironically, been hailed as “brain food” by those who know about these things. We’ve collected a couple of the more interesting uses of hemp below.

Hemp Diapers
No, really. Take care of the little one by swaddling them in the bud.

Compost Sure
If you have a composting toilet, there is no better mixture than hemp stalk and peat moss. Particularly if you have the kind with a flush toilet. You’ll just have to trust me on this one . While it could help your standard run-of-the-mill compost, dried leaves or other “brown matter” will generally do the trick well enough. The minute you start just tossing in just anything to a compost toilet, though, is the second that you ruin the compost with oft-smelly results.

Yoga Wear
If you are driving to your Yoga class in a Prius and chowing down on a hemp seed energy bar for a bit of a boost afterwards, throwing some hemp yoga wear into the mix will earn you the super-hippie of the year award. From whoever hands out those things. Given what popular yoga brands charge, the prices on this site are awesome.

More Please
We got most of these from Ecomall, a site that I would highly recommend for all of your eco-product needs.
