I thought I saw a couple of hundred liters of food/fuel oil burned off because of a fear it might enter the underground market. And cause what?

Hemp is an extremely fast growing crop, producing more fiber yield per acre than any other source. Hemp can produce 250% more fiber than cotton and 600% more fiber than flax using the same amount of land. The amount of land needed for obtaining equal yields of fiber place hemp at an advantage over other fibers.

It's a large part of the Tassie economy!

Hemp contains less than 1% THC. It will not get you high. The only high you can ge will be anoxia from trying to smoke so much.

Macaco420, there are plenty of dope smokers in Tassie. The last figures I saw, some 10 years ago mind you, more people admitted to regularly(at least once per week) having a choof, than those admitting to smoking tobacco.That particular hemp plant is an extremely low THC-content variety, though. You'd almost die of smoke inhalation before you got stoned. There is no point smoking it.And no, I don't smoke anything, so I have no agenda to push...
