Hemp actually is Marijuana in Fantasyland

[Trenix]

I just want to go into a little information on hemp since this game believes in the myth that hemp gets you high or that it's used for recreational reasons. Marijuana and hemp are two different plants. Hemp will not get you high, therefore it's not favored as a recreational drug, which means there is no reason to smoke it. It also wont give you the "munchies", like the buff you get in Haven & Hearth. Hemp and Marijuana are under the same family called cannabis, however, one can get you high, the other can not. The medical/recreational "marijuana" also can't be used for it's fibers like hemp. So it's pretty clear that they're different, being that they're used for different purposes.

Plant Names

Marijuana (Cannabis Sativa subsp. Indica)
Hemp (Cannabis Sativa L. subsp. Sativa)

The Facts

The THC levels in Industrial Hemp are so low that no one could get high from smoking it. Moreover, hemp contains a relatively high percentage of another cannabinoid, CBD, that actually blocks the marijuana high. Hemp, it turns out, is not only not marijuana; it could be called "anti-marijuana".

A total of 41 varieties of hemp with low levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are certified by the European Union (EU). They have, unlike other types, a very high fiber content of 30-40%. In contrast to cannabis for medical use, varieties grown for fiber and seed have less than 0.2% THC and they are unsuitable for producing hashish and marijuana. The most important cannabinoid in industrial hemp is non-psychogenic cannabidiol (CBD) with a proportion of 1 to 5%.

Hemp (from Old English hænep) is mostly used as name for low tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) strains of the plant Cannabis sativa, of fiber and/or oilseed varieties. In modern times, hemp has been used for industrial purposes including paper, textiles, biodegradable plastics, construction, health food and fuel. Hemp is legally grown in many countries across the world including Canada, Spain, China, Japan, Korea, England, France, Africa, North Africa, Egypt and Ireland. Hemp is commonly associated with marijuana (hemp's THC rich cousin).

Cannabis sativa L. subsp. sativa var. sativa is the variety grown for industrial use, while C. sativa subsp. indica generally has poor fiber quality and is primarily used for production of recreational and medicinal drugs.

Sure hemp and marijuana are not completely the same, but thats like saying a german shepard and a great dane are not the same thing. They're still both dogs in the end.
EDIT: Also, making a hemp and marijuana plant is a stupid idea. To have both would be overly complicated and tedious; "A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."

Does this seriously require a thread?

No ones going to go in and change hemp being smokable because someone on the forums wants to be a wikipedia whore and set all problems straight with the resource.

Stop.

Even dogs are used for different things. I rather have a german shepard protect me over a chiwawa.

Why not?

Not all of it was from the wikipedia.

Stop.

Why are suggestions looked down upon? If you don't like them, don't be part of them. Simple.

I can use the wiki too, and you're spelling it wrong.

Do you feel the absolute requirement to go in and change every single spelling problem I point out? Because I will do this until you realize some of your ideas in this topic are not going to happen, nor would anyone feel the need to right now.

I just exemplified what I said before, no ones going to change something of that little significance, honestly, who cares?

No, I take it as a responsibility to show you what suggestions are bad, if people that disliked them didn't reply, you'd thing you were doing something right.

You're not doing something right.
