From Times wire reports

An Australian architect is having a house built from hemp, the botanical relative of cannabis, and is harvesting 2.5 million plants that will be ground up and used to make bricks.

The hemp bricks are said to have better insulating qualities than traditional ones. The hemp used has a low level of THC, the active chemical in marijuana.
