Quote:
Napoleon needed a different method to control the Russian hemp supply. He tried to get Tsar Alexander I to allow his men to be stationed at Russian ports in St. Petersburg so that he could personally ensure that hemp was not ending up in the hands of the British Navy.
When the Tsar refused, Napoleon decided to invade Russia.
What else do y'all know about hemp history?

They weren’t going to the trouble of removing thc because of some bullshit law…. They were growing weed..
Why is that so hard to say?

They didn’t call it weed, that’s part of the reason it became illegal, confusing terms. “The people” thought they were banning something else.
Or so the story goes.

I mean, you aren't wrong, nobody was using chromatography to remove thc but fiber hemp tends to be naturally quite low by weight
