“Hemp far superior to cotton”

Hemp has been touted as a miracle substance, but it’s waaayyy overhyped, particularly by potheads too stoned to know it won’t get you high. The Ford car made from hemp is a case in point:

Another example was hemp rope. It was stronger than cotton, but it was also prone to rot, and required frequent tarring, which other types of rope did not. Hemp has a lot of uses, but like everything else it’s got both benefits and drawbacks.

Utterly disgraceful that hemp was ever outlawed.
