“What an odd reaction.”

De gustibus non disputandum est. I would say rather that your reaction to my statement of opinion regarding a song is rather odd.

“...the word canvas, comes from cannabis...tared hemp cord...Maryjauhana built the U.S. Navy.”

Wooden ships and iron men built the U.S. Navy, mister. Hemp played a minor role, and that not as an intoxicant.

“And that is exactly why it is illegal. Because people can easily grow there own”

Really? I notice George Washington didn’t outlaw it, though his administration did precipitate the Whiskey Rebellion.

By 1937, forty-six of the forty-eight states as well as the District of Columbia had laws against marijuana. No federal action was taken until the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937.

The reasons for this are well known, and have nothing to do with people growing hemp to make rope.

Take a pill man. (or a joint) which ever you prefer.
I am not arguing with you. I respect you. I have absolutely no reason to dislike or insult you. We are just talking and frankly, I am enjoying it.
