I kind a like my stainless steel straws . Only problem I see with hemp straws is people will start stealing and smoking them.
Seems to me though that if the straw is something of value like stainless or say even silver it's not going to be tossed out with the trash .
See, it's ignorance like this that caused hemp to be outlawed years ago, even though it is a superior product that has many, many uses and is also much more planet-friendly.
(Ignorance aided by forest and paper industries, who used it to ensure their businesses had no cheap and environmentally friendly competition.)
Paper straws, avacodo straws, hemp straws, I have used them all. Some take years to break down, some like paper straws start to break down when you use them

The paper industry is a renewable resource, it was the plastics industry that put a death nail in the paper industry in the 80s that replaced paper with plastic aka "Save the trees movement" funded by the plastics industry.

There are no psychoactive compounds in significant quantity in industrial hemp material. Kombucha tea has a far higher concentration of alcohol and is freely sold in pretty much every store, yet I've never heard of people trying to get drunk off of it, because it's nearly impossible.
The cotton and paper industry lobbied the government to promote these myths just so they wouldn't have competition, because hemp would definitely be a strong competitor with how renewable and eco friendly it is.
Hemp takes just 100 days to grow to a stage where its fibers can be used. In contrast, you are looking at a minimum of 50-100 years for a tree to reach a similar stage.
So which is truly a renewable source given today's demands for paper products? Hemp, which can be harvested in under four months, or trees that take at least a half a century to "renew"?
Given it's many uses and its truly renewable quality, the fact that hemp has been outlawed in this country is beyond ridiculous.

Trees take 50-100 years to have viability to make paper products? Some people been smoking a little too much of their product
