Legalisation of Marijuana and the textiles industry

[Sarxis]

If/when this stuff is legal to smoke, will hemp clothing return?

And if so, would you smoke your socks?

[Lord_Davinator]

I say you should smoke everyday.
I say you should scatter seeds all over so that it grows everywhere, thus not only do you get a better environment, when they too many of them grow you can cut them down and smoke em and make clothes out of them...

but of course marijuana social stigma posses problems in the land of the free...

For hemp production, the stalk is the important part, which has a lower concentration of THC than the leaves. It would mostly just be a waste to smoke your socks.

I don't see why the growing of industrial hemp (which provides excellent, pliant burlap and ropes, not ideal for clothing) should not be legal under controlled conditions. And I'm a strong opponent of legalising marijuana, mind.

[Lord_Davinator]

umm the main problem being you need the marijuana plant to make the hemp Buck... you legalize hemp... think how much easier it is to make marijuana...

The marijuana legalization lobby got shot down pretty thoroughly this last election, so don't go buying any stock in the hemp industry!

Hemp clothing will NEVER return. Too uncomfortable. It's like wearing clothes made out of pubic hair.

Then again, that's because most people who oppose marijuana do so because of government and/or religious propaganda, not out of any rational logic.

People who say "Marijuana should be kept illegal" while drinking a beer, for example, are not in touch with reality.

uncomfortable you say?

[Lord_Davinator]

I like the analogy statusperfect

[Anodyne]

But hemp still smells better.

Don't knock pubic hair socks, nothing else tastes the same.

Trust me.. cannabis can have a much more detrimental effect than alohol.. time factor considered.

Spoilsport!!

Trust me... cannabis can confuse your feet to such an extent you believe in trees. Then what would you do? Smoke your table? I don't think so.
