Disasters and Recovery

If they do, they're in for disappointment. From what I've read, THC, the active chemical in marajuana, is found primarily in the flowers and buds, not in the stems from which useful fibers are extracted. Also, hemp raised for fibers and not specifically for "recreational" use contains tiny amounts of THC. I'm told you could smoke a bushel of rope grade cannibus and get no noticable effect. My understanding is the primary reason the US government has outlawed hemp fiber is that it is the same *color* as cannibus destined to be smoked, which makes satelite and aircraft sweeps with cameras sensative to that specific color far less useful. It's idiotic, since hemp fiber could replace wood and other fibers in many applications (such as paper) with a far lower environmental cost. And no, I don't smoke it, or anything else. My two experiences with cigarettes convinced me I could find vices that hurt less.
