I'm not sure how you know that, but I think you are late for your cooking session.

One of my friends comes from generations of tobacco farmers. This year it’s all about hemp. But he’s not in Sunday school much because he’s in the field guarding them from hemp thieves.
Trying to get high off those plants is like trying to get drunk on “alcohol free” beer. But the plants are pretty valuable for CBD, and he has a lot invested in them, so guard them, he does.
One is cannanis sativa. The other, known as hemp, is cannabis indiga.
Most believe that sativa is the only one able to get you high.
Most have also heard of, and/or smelled so-called 'skunk weed.' That's cannabis indiga. There are strains that have as much if not more THC than sativa.
So, when someone says you can't get high off hemp, they don't know what they're talking about.
I grow it in my garage. (Its legal here.) Not gonna lie, I liked it as a kid. Now my wife is on chemo it helps. Helps me fall asleep better than a shot.
But to be honest—it can be a bitch to grow to harvest. And it stinks if you dont have the ventilation right. I do it as much for the “gardening aspect” as I do smoking.
I understand its not for everyone. I don’t have kids in the house. Very few people know about it.
The best thing about decriminalizing hemp is the havoc it’s going to play on people selling real pot that have to compete with startups selling stuff they stole from a field or found growing in a ditch.
It depends on the strain of indiga. Some have as much if not more THC than cannabis sativa.
If you've heard of or smelled 'skunk' weed, that's cannabis indiga, also known as hemp.
250 plants at $25,000 to $75,000...that comes out to $100 to $300 per plant.
Expensive rope.
Almost identical. In fact, given time, one can convert to the other. One has a lot of CBD. The other has a lot of THC.
In fact, if THC is higher than .3% it’s considered marijuana. It’s kinda like if “non-alcoholic beer” has more than .5% alcohol, it is considered beer.
One of the guys here had his hemp plants tested and they came in at .6% THC. Technically, he could have been busted for growing marijuana. But to put it in perspective, it’s like having beer with a gravity of around .09%.
BTW, they have to constantly check on the plants to make sure they have no males. Male plants are worthless other than as a source of fiber, which actually is abnormally tough stuff.
I would think cotton would be cheaper.
The plants are around 6' tall and 5' wide. If it's being grown to produce CBD oil, that stuff is really expensive.....
Hemp is real pot. (cannabis indiga)
Street name is 'skunk' weed.
I get it. I’m from BC even before the the thought of legalizing it came to be. I have a family member deep in Kentucky who just shoots trespassers on his farm, and he’s done this multiple times..
The hemp stuff has been genetically engineered to have high CBD and low THC. I know in Canada you had to get it tested and certified.
Indica and Sativa, or any of the thousand cross breeds can get you high. But the stuff they grow for oil and rope are on the low side. You would have to smoke a lot of it. Most “pot people” know that. Stupid kids don’t.
Just another story of how you can’t fix stupid.
“Hemp was an important industrial crop back in the day. “
WWII.
It depends on the strain of indiga. Some strains of indiga have as much, if not more THC than sativa. (skunk weed)
My first round of 10 seeds cost about $9 a seed. I could get a replacement if it did not germinate. But they are expensive. And the “strains” cross the spectrum in terms of size and potency. From a “new industry” perspective—it is a fascinating culture.
Lots of hippies are getting blown out by the folks in the button down collars.
If you can’t trust your local drug dealer, who can you trust?.........................
They’ll all get emphysema trying to smoke it.................
I'm not sure how you know that, but I think you are late for your cooking session.
This is true. But the general opinion is that you can't get high off idica (hemp) which is incorrect. It all depends on the strain.
