Today's newspaper had an interesting article about possible uses for
cannabis, besides the obvious "smoke it" one; one of the many uses mentioned
was paper, and as an example they mentioned the American Declaration of
Independance, along with Gutenberg's Bible. Is this true?


Hemp is a great fiber.  Works most places cotton or wood work (paper, clothing,
and rope).

Yup, I know that. There used to be hemp-like plantations for rope production
in Portugal a long time ago.

(why do you think they call it "smoking a rope"???)

:-)
What really gave me thoughts were all those people who say "politicians
would like to burn the constitution"... ;-)

As far as pot goes, well, to each his own...at least as far as legal in the
country that they are in.  None for me thanks, it and I don't get along at all
well...

My point precisely: is it? Is hemp legal in the *whole* US? Or is the very
own document that creates the country written in a forbidden fiber?
I mean, it isn't as if the world is about to end or anything, it is just a
cool thought.
