Yes, but hemp was used in industry to make rope, not smoked. Easy to make sensationalist remarks; a little responsible research takes time and trouble.

Regardless of whether or not it was smoked, industrial hemp is still considered a drug today. IIRC you're actually eligible for the death penalty if you grow enough of it.
