Hemp is becoming a huge crop that is responsible for the creation of a variety of different products, beyond the medicinal uses that the plant is typically known for.

Replacing the currently used fibers (glass, carbon, Kevlar) with hemp fiber may or may not be a good idea, but it's not a huge part of the materials used in an aircraft.
