All my life, I've heard people go on and on about the magical properties of hemp.

It's hilarious.

They have these material science level arguments about hemp, yet the same people would be hard pressed to find an alternative use for cotton aside from clothes, or wood pulp aside from ikea furniture.

It's a desert topping, it's a driveway sealant. And the government won't let us have it!

Hemp textiles are rough, but antimicrobial/antibacterial: hemp textiles resist growth of pneumonia and staph.

AFAIU, when they blend hemp with e.g. rayon it's good enough for underwear, sheets, scrubs.

The government is getting the heck out of the way of hemp, a great rotation crop that can be used for soul remediation.

> soul remediation.

That's the best pun - or typo - that I've seen in a while.

Maybe a freudian slip
