Haha very funny. Who is your avatar?
Here is an interesting excerpt from on article, arguing that marajuana was banded due to its threats to existing industries.
Why marijuana is illegal is beyond the scope of Marijuana is Safer,
but I delved deeper into the events that led to the Marijuana Tax Act
of 1937. Hemp fiber threatened DuPont's monopoly on the necessary
chemicals for paper from trees, and patented Nylon, a synthetic fiber,
the same year hemp was made illegal. Andrew Mellon, the primary
financial backer of DuPont, was also the Secretary of the Treasury. He
appointed Harry Anslinger, his nephew-in-law, to director of the Bureau
of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, the predecessor of the Drug
Enforcement Agency of today.

Lycan's current avatar is actor Jean Reno. He can play the good or the bad guy, he's very likable. If you watch movies, you've seen him before.

Yep, they outlawd it so the few can get rich on alternative resources. It can even be used to make clean fuel for combustion engines. It makes superior paper, and the plant grows in 4 months. Instead they want to cut down trees which takes 80 years or so to grow and we get less durable paper from it. Brilliant.
by aspieniggaCan't say I have ever worn hemp. What does it feel like?
It's like jeans, except better. More fire resistant and takes a lot more abuse.
Is hemp a soft fabric? By the way I heard that the constitution was written on hemp paper. Therefore technically it is an illegal document; oh the irony. Yeah I now recognize Jean Reno I saw him in the Davinchi code and pink panther. Finally wood paper actually sucks. It bleeds, it tears and its treated with chemicals which weaken the fibers of the plant. By the way who sets their pants on fire?

You can still buy hemp products that are leagal, like hemp foods and fabrics. The fabric can be made in many ways, but no, it is not soft stuff. It'll be starchy. The world is at your finger tips. Google it and look at some pictures.
The fire resistance is just another attribute that makes the material superior. The Marine that gets to sport a hemp outfit would be more blessed than any other clad trooper.
Memory is a blurr, but I think the US constitution was written on a table cloth. Probably was hemp, cause if it were on a table cloth that is common by todays standards, it would be laughable.
The first 5 minutes of that documentary I posted covers a lot of that stuff.
