This was a very interesting article. It is so odd, but so typical that such a useful agricultural product be banned and demonized. So foolish actually. Actually I don't know what the big fuss is about marijuana either for that matter (I know I am opening myself up for debate here so will not expand the idea.) My father was in Korea in the Korean War and when he was there he bought many products made out of hemp and brought them home when the war ended. When I was 20 he gave me a pair of hemp sandals, a plant hanger made out of hemp rope, a little basket made from coiled hemp, and some very beautiful placemats They were wonderful and I kept them for many years, and life as we know it did not come to an end! I did have a fatality with one of the placemats I had however. Back in the 70s I had a party at my house (back in the HIPPY days when I was young, naive and very foolish), and some idiot at my party got the idea, when seeing the Made In Korea of genuine HEMP label on the mat), that he would roll up my mat and try to smoke it! Of course he did not get a buzz, almost got smoke inhalation, and made my kitchen smell like hell, and damn near set my curtains afire. The guy was an idiot. Wished that he had read the article about the differences that was posted here. Now my poor mat set is missing one, and those mats are still as good as new. I have had them for 40 years and my dad got them many years before he gave them to me. So hemp has proved itself to be very durable as well. Great post, and brought back memories as well.

Great commentary Marique! Hahaha.. very funny story of that guy who smoked your mat!!!. He must have got a head rush from that I'm sure. haha Well when I was in the Alps, they found a 15 000 year old well preserved man in a glacier. His clothes were sown with hemp thread. He was wearing a medicine pouch tied to his neck with only two things in it: cannabis or hemp flowers with seeds and psylocibin hallucinogenic mushrooms. I bet back in those days, there was no laws against it nor moral debates about using natural plant medicines from Mother Earth. People were not afraid yet of the power of plants. But I'm sure they didn't smoke their mats either. Peace, Love and laughs
