    Great link Ivory!

    The Alnwick Garden in Northumbria grows Hemp in a locked cage in their poison garden. The Body Shop also do a brilliant range of hemp products, work wonders on my eczema-prone skin! I would grow it (the non-noxious kind) as a foliage plant!

    Anglers use the seed for bait, I got some from a fishing mate last year.

    Really interesting looking plants, give a tropical effect.

    It cant be the kind you smoke, it wouldn't be so easily available, I dont think.


    BTW, not growing it this year, just incase we are being monitored:D
    Didn't like to mention it last year.:)

    "It cant be the kind you smoke, it wouldn't be so easily available, I dont think."

    There is that, and also what is sold for smoking nowadays is not the leaves but the unpollinated female flower (sinsemilla), that is not harvested in open fields,but in strictly regulated close enviroments;as soon as it gets pollinated the thc level drops, adios funny giggles. All other parts of the plant are relatively innocent, even in the "criminal" varieties. ;)
