excel: I would grow it. Here's the keys for anyone who would try to also. Start the seeds inside in early winter. As the plants start branching, remove the lower branches. Once transplanted outdoors, continue to remove lower branches. One wants sandy soil with rich leaf mold or compost on top. Think of growing a small tree. The hemp plant will take a lot of water. Its root system will drive deep in a hurry.

The reason for stripping the lower branches is to encourage strong and long strands on the trunk. For first time growers, they will be amazed at how large the plants become and the amount of fiber that is produced. Common sense will dictate that location rotation is in order.

Honeysuckle can grow more in a year, but needs several years to get established and does not produce the amount of vegetative mass that the hemp plant does.

The prohibition to grow the plant is so mind staggering once someone has raised some.
