As you know, they not only grew it and smoked it, the fibers made great canvas ... until Dupont invented a substitute fiber and needed government help in promoting its use over the fibers from hemp. During WWI the boot covers, tents, ship canvases, and even clothing for troops was woven from hemp fibers.
