Hemp will not get you high it is grown an bred for lots of seeds and long stalks.

You wear one, and smoke the other!

Its just a different strain of cannabis like any other it just happens to not have much THC and it grows a little differently.

Industrial help usually has next to nothing when it comes to THC... simply put, it wont get you high.

Hemp is grown 100% outdoors... there for its all seedy and shit, so you wouldnt want to smoke it anyways... It takes 10 times the amount of Hemp to get you high as it does home grow Cannabis. =) Hemp is the best product known to man... its a shame the fucking government is so close minded... you know we can use hemp as a fire starter and stuff like that... instead of using say... Idk... fucking whale bluber (not that anyone uses it anymore lol) we can use hemp oil. We can make paper out of it... we can make clothes out of it... we can cook with it... the list of things to do with hemp goes on and on and on....

LMFAO!!! Are you kidding me? Have you ever thought about a Pygmy standing next to a Basketball player? Or a Ballet dancer standing next to a Sumo wrestler? I think these are resonable examples of extreems in human beings and as far as I know, we are still, just, one species.

It's just a matter of Selective Breeding - it has been going on for thousands of years. Let's use dogs as a working model. I don't remember exactly how long it's been, but I think it's like 10 or 12 thousand years ago (no more than 40) - there were no dogs, just wolves! All of a sudden (in evolutionary time frames) things changed! People changed, societies changed, people started living in large permenant settlements (cities or towns). These cities and towns created a new problem - GARBAGE! Some of the local wolves weren't as skitish as others; some of them actually hung around the garbage heaps to eat and became accustomed to being around people. These few, brave, wolves eventually became "domesticated" in a very short period of time. All over the world, this happened as people banded together in different groups. These widely varied groupes had widely varied interests and thusly favored some of thier "wolf" puppies over others - that's how dog breeding got started. Some dogs became good at fetching game for hunters, some dogs became good at helping to herd livestock. Do you see what I'm getting at here? The whole point isn't just a cannine history lesson - HELLO! Do you realize how very different dogs are around the world? As far as I know, Great Danes and Chihuahuas are, still, just one species. They are just bred for different reasons - with very different results!

Hemp has been selectively bred (for thousands of years) to yield the best fiber and seeds. marijuana has been selectively bred (for thousands of years) to yield the best "Bud". Yes, they are both varities of cannabis, it's just that simple. Go and figure!

if you took your best bud and grew it a 2 inch intervals you would get mostly long ass stocks with very little bud
