I don't want to share the roads with any one that is high unless maybe i can also share the roads and shoot guns. How would that be? Then in the USA we have more than enough fatties and pot just gives people the munchies. Do we need the next 5 generations all to weigh 400 pounds each?

You pot heads are just like Forest Gump. "Stupid is what Stupid does". Go for it.

I think that's why Bill Clinton didn't understand that big word IS don't you?

Fact!

I suppose you could cut up hemp clothing and smoke it, the same way you can do so with cotton or wool. Not sure that the effect would be something the smoker would like.
In old Europe hemp was the next most important crop for textiles after linen. It would remain so until cotton from the United States later other parts of the world such as Egypt arrived.

Cotton was not unknown in old Europe, it was discovered by various traders and the Crusades when they went to Egypt, India and so forth. However the plant will not grow in much of Western Europe and no one in France, England, Germany or wherever thought about simply bringing back cotton the threads and weaving them into cloth back home. Instead what cotton cloth came into Europe was already woven and thus very expensive. As such only royalty and or the wealthy could afford the stuff.

Hemp along with linen was grown by the early settlers of the United States just as they had done in England/Europe. Both provided everything from textiles to rope and even sealing material for ships.

Two things would change this in America and ultimately the rest of the world: slavery and cotton.

Hemp looks like mary J and is related, but Hemp has no TCH. I approve of Help being grown for the oil, the fact you can grow it 3 times in the same season for bio-electric, make natural line, rope, and material (cloths) and while you could smoke the leaves no one is going to get High High High. This is like getting 0 sugar from Japanese Maple which is related to Sugar Maple where you do get sugar known as maple syrup. And or Red maple leaves that will KILL a Horse if ingested but not so with sugar maple leaves.

It is stunning how many people here don't know one plant that can be used for 1,001 things can't tell it from a pot plant. I am ok with medical use of pot for specific reasons like cancer pain relief and or glaucoma. I am against the recreational use, which in long term causes loss of brain cells, and makes people stupid.
