tl;dr - The waste hemp they used was as good as grapheme, in some instances it was better, at an incredible reduction in cost (it's WASTE hemp!). This was the non-THC version, so no worries with drug laws.
Science is pretty damned cool.

We created unique interconnected partially graphitic carbon nanosheets (10–30 nm in thickness) with high specific surface area (up to 2287 m2 g–1), significant volume fraction of mesoporosity (up to 58%), and good electrical conductivity (211–226 S m–1) from hemp bast fiber.

The hemp industry needs a re-branding campaign. It's too bad that it got lumped in with "reefer madness" campaign funded by Dupont in the early 20th century and lumped in with the "war on drugs" in the late 20th century.
Hemp is a textile resource that can benefit society a lot.
