Texas A&M research students trying to establish a more sustainable future with hemp
By Morgan Riddell, KBTX.com
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) – A group of Texas A&M research students got to share everything they’re working on in Aggieland at a conference of over 200 cannabis industry leaders.
The Texas Cannabis Police Conference happening this week at the Memorial Student Center is tackling everything marijuana, from medical use to policy and farming. This is where the students who focus heavily on studying hemp come in.
The plants they work with maintain very low levels of THC, tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive component of the plant. Their research focuses on alternative uses with the plant like being a nutritious source of food, creating pesticides, and making textiles like paper and plastics plus pharmaceuticals.
Students Clay Moore, Josh Van Dyke, Ian McGrath and Meredith Clay conduct research at Texas A&M and say they see a future where the hemp plant means more.
