Haaa-haa!!!! Now THAT's funny!!!

I just want to know if your speakers blow, can you smoke the cones?

LOL!  That would be one expensive spliff.

Tone Tubby? El Whappo Grande? What will they come up with next?

Entirely too silly for this time of the morning.

Hey Bill,
 
How was Yosemite?  It's one of my favorite places on this Earth.
 
Those Tone Tubbys look very nice indeed.  Not withstanding the hemp issue, there's also the idea of dealing with real people in a hands on business who give a damn about their product.  I'm seriously considering a 2X10 cabinet w/tweeter from them.  Thanks for the heads up.

For those concerned about hemp being used only for legally questionable purposes, I think the mainstream application has been the manufacturing of ropes, for centuries on end.

Apparently, there are quite a number of practical uses for hemp; it is quite an extraordinarily useful plant.  But it is not useful for getting high; it is not the same plant as marijuana.  However, it is illegal to grow the stuff in the US.

Dave,
 
From the same page that you referenced: NETHERLANDS is conducting a four year study to evaluate and test hemp for paper, and is developing processing equipment. Seed breeders are developing new strains of low-thc varieties. (hennep)
 
IIRC, THC is the stuff that gets you high. Regular hemp is very, very low in THC, but the 'nederwiet' varieties are cultured to be excessively high in THC.

Yosemite was incredible.  The Disneyland of nature - or at least that's how I sold it to my 9 year old.  We found a great place to stay - the Yosemite View Lodge - two miles outside the Arch Rock entrance on 140 in El Portal.  Less than 15 minutes to Yosemite Village.  We saw mule deer, a bear, crazy humans climbing El Capitan, and on the way back, Hetch Hetchy.  Very cool!  I brought the portable DVD player (hooked up to the TV) and a bunch of movies.  We never watched.  The room had a balcony overlooking the Mighty Merced less than 10 feet away.  After the young 'un went to bed, my wife and I spent each evening out on the balcony listening to the river, watching the moon and stars, while I strummed my Electrum unplugged.  Not much volume, but VERY spiritual in a non-religious sort of way.
 
As far as hemp goes, it really is the same plant as cannabis (marijuana - a racist term promulgated by Harry Anslinger, head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics for about 40 years, in an attempt to play on the discrimination against Mexican farm workers in the southwest in the 1930's).  Industrial hemp has been bred for centuries to be high in fiber content which just so happens to make it low in THC.  It's kind of like a chihuahua and a mastiff are both dogs, but no one (except maybe the DEA) would ever confuse them. (Or like an Alembic and a Fender Squire are both guitars). Hemp is used for a very wide variety of products: paper, rope, clothing, shampoo, foods, even Mercedes uses hemp in the interior of their cars.  Hemp oil is very healthy.  I even have a couple of hemp guitar straps.

I must admit that I do not know anything about nederwiet cultivation.  It is my understanding that industrial hemp, i.e. plants useful for making clothing, paper, biomass fuel, etc., would not be useful for getting high.  It would be my guess that in breeding plants for an increased THC content, growers would be concentrating on broad leafy plants rather than the large tall stalks that commercial hemp growers want; and that as a result, the nederwiet plants would have different physical characteristics.  But I really have no idea; this is not an area that I know anything about.  And since the Homeland Security computers pick up every post with the word marijuana in it, let me just say that I don't even know what the stuff looks like .
