Words fail me-—except for one: WHY?
Hemp is stronger and more durable than cotton.
Sails and rope were exclusively made of hemp until the advent of synthetic fibers. Hemp was strategic commodity from the 17 to18th century and farmers were required to grow hemp as a crop by law.
Because the original flag was made of hemp that Betsy Ross sewed. I think it is kinda neat. We are getting back to the original founders of American who grew hemp and made the flag that way. You should be proud of today and the original intent of America.
WHY! does anything surprise you anymore? :)
