Really, gee I had not thought of that. Hemp is not new to Canada, lots of hemp drinks abound, hemp yogurts, etc etc. Cost is a factor due to the low Canadian dollar making this drink much more expensive than the domestic brands.
If I make one million pounds of glass, that is one pound for each 37 people, not that each person will use one pound of glass. Just a number but a very very high number and one which I do not believe for one moment anyone would produce, especially in this economic environment. But it does make for good press I guess.
