Today's newspaper had an interesting article about possible uses for
cannabis, besides the obvious "smoke it" one; one of the many uses mentioned

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

country that they are in.  None for me thanks, it and I don't get along at all

I've not smoked dope for many years, but I also have no problem with others
doing so.
