It is odd that our goverment would ban a farm crop which could thrive on marginal acreage, supplant cotton in particular.
And they know better. I went to college at U of Illinois when marijuana grew in every fencerow. The military grew hemp for rope during WW11 at Rantoul Air Force Base near there, and this common weed was a joke to us.
It had low THC, you could smoke a joint of it and all you got was a headache. It was called "dump dope" because it was so plentiful at the local landfill. Why not develop hybrid strains with zero THC, and allow it to be produced for fiber?
Thanks Smokey, for the tip on L. Neil Smith. Sounds like interesting reading.
