Maybe there was something passed that doesn't allow them to import carpet with hemp anymore.
Actually it was one of the major cash crops for the early Americans. All the founding fathers grew Hemp.

Indeed. Hemp has been a major crop of every society for thousands of years and was grown in the United States until it was banned in 1937.

The United states found itself short on good rope etc during the war and put out a video called Hemp For Victory where they encouraged farmers to, once again, farm the hemp plant.

They needed to get their special license from the government of course but they farmed it nonetheless.

Re: Hemp Anyone?

Trying to find something and ran across this:

To clear up the popular confusion about the properties of what is sometimes called industrial hemp, the crop's prospective purveyors explain that hemp and smokable marijuana share a genus and a species but are about as similar as rope and dope.

The active ingredient in marijuana is tetrahydrocannabinol, better known as THC. While hemp typically contains 0.3 percent THC, the leaves and flowers coveted by pot smokers have 5 percent or more, sometimes up to 30 percent.

"You could smoke a joint the size of a telephone pole," Hague said of hemp, "and it's not going to provide you with a high."

Experts on the subject say a headache is far more likely than a buzz.

Re: Hemp Anyone?

Speaking of hemp I seem to remember a video called reefer madness,but it wasn't about rope.

Re: Hemp Anyone?

Seems like in a mall one time I saw a clothing store with hemp in the name perhaps the clothes in that place were made from hemp.

Yes sir... hemp makes excellent clothing and is more efficiently farmed than cotton.

Industrial hemp is certified THC free... THC is the chemical found in Marijuana that creates the "high".

Hemp is of the same family but is not useful as a drug.

Banning hemp because it is in the same family as the marijuana plant is tantamount to banning Poppy Seeds because of their familial relation to heroin.
