Wiping our arses...

I had a thought sitting on the dunny just now, about toilet paper. We buy 2-ply paper, and it’s just too thin! Why is there no 4 ply? Cos I always double fold, does anyone else want to know why there is no 4 ply paper? This got me thinking in a big way. Toilet paper. Paper. The one use of paper that is VERY hard to recycle. So we are making our toilet paper from slow growth trees. I heard Jello Biafra talk about this once, he had a few points to say on the topic;

• Marijuana plants give us hemp, one of the strongest natural fibres

• It takes a few months to grow to a usable state as opposed to plantation forests which take years

• You can get four times as much paper from an acre of marijuana plant than an acre of standard plantation forest

“We’re wiping our arses with out own future!”

Well, why not use marijuana hemp for toilet paper? Cheaper, faster and more sustainable, so why are still smearing crap on our forests? It’s stronger than paper, so I could wipe without the fear of breaking trough. That would really put my mind at ease.

Some people will tell me that I’m starting at the wrong end to put my mind at ease. Well, there are variations of the marijuana plant that contain no THC, so they can’t be used to get high. Besides, a toilet paper joint…

So be aware than next time you reach down there with a folded flap of white paper, you could try wiping with a touch of reefer madness!
