Industrial hemp has zero THC. Or so close to zero, you don’t know the difference.

Actually I tend to think that industrial hemp was declared illegal in part by the plastics industry.

You are quite correct good sir!

Dupont lobbied very heavily for a war on hemp to replace it's use with synthetic fibers. This was during and just after world war II.

I heard a rumor 3M was behind it too since hemp made better paper.
