It has been used for paper, textiles, and cordage for thousands of years.” (Hempsters pg. 1) However, none of this matters because hemp is a cannabis which means that it falls under the same laws as marijuana even though they are two very different plants. And though marijuana, for medical and some recreational uses, has started making breakthroughs on state laws and some federal laws while hemp has barely broken through state laws.
