they do make paper out of all of those things, just
not in great quantities, and their uses are limited
because of the fiber lengths and such. most of the
hemp papers are made in canada, china, or russia, and
are very sturdy papers. i'm not sure of paper making
qualities of bamboo but in the orient, hemp and
mulberry were the prefered materials for paper. so i'm
guessing that bamboo may not make good quality paper,
but that's just a guess.
