Yep. From what I've heard you'd have to smoke a few acres of industrial hemp to get a high and by that time you'd have a headache that would kill a bull elephant.

There are numerous differences between industrial hemp and marijuana. First, industrial hemp is, I believe, the male plant. Second, the stalks are allowed to grow to enormous heights where marijuana is forced to remain smallish. And third, industrial hemp plants are grown very close together where marijuana is supposed to be grown so many feet apart.

It's a shame that hemp must be purchased from Europe, Canada, and China to be made into fine clothes that last so much longer than cotton.

According to the article, hemp is grown a mere 20 miles away across the Canadian border from this guy. He can hop in his pick-up truck and, within an hour, have all the raw hemp his little heart desires.
