Why is the U..S. the only developed country where hemp is still illegal?
Synthetic Vitreous Fibers
A group of fibrous, inorganic materials that contain aluminum or calcium silicates, and are made from rock or stone, clay, slag, or glass. Synthetic vitreous fibers are widely used for thermal and sound insulating.
fiber optic cable Bundled glass rods (fibers) that are extremely thin and flexible and are capable of transmitting voice, video, and data signals in either analog or digital formats. This is accomplished with very little loss in signal quality.
Fiber: Plant or animal products used to make clothing, paper, homes, and furniture; e.g. cotton, timber, and wool.
Fill: Man-made deposits of natural soils or rock products and waste materials.
