RE: SIGH... NOT!! THC tainted oranges
Closest ciommon relative of hemp is of course hop (*Humulus lupulus* IIRC) which is, as you all know, widely used to flavour beer. I believe it already has some THC content, or something very similar. Ken Brown Bill Frantz wrote:
always thought that crabgrass would be a better carrier for THC genes, and give the DEA maximum fits. However, given that 5 states have passed medical pot initiatives, one over the attempts of their legislature to destroy the previous initiative, perhaps the DEA has enough problems. :-)

lupulin ... I had a friend who claimed to get stoned off smoking hops and hop extract. There were inaccurate claims dating back to at least the 60s that hops could be crossed with hemp to produce a psychoactive plant similar to the recent Orange hoax. -- 1024/D9C69DF9 steve mynott steve@tightrope.demon.co.uk http://www.pineal.com/ the chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated. -- h. l. mencken

Back in the 60s (well, 70s) we could get stoned smoking just about anything; didn't matter if it was psychoactive or not, as long as you really _wanted_ to believe you'd get stoned from it. :-) I mean, if it worked with banana peels, it'd work with just about anything... On the other hand, an acquaintance of mine and some of his druggie friends decided to try smoking caffeine pills to see what would happen. Once. :-) You do not want to try this. He said it hits you with all the bad caffeine side effects, all at once.

I have heard of people grafting hop vines onto cannabis roots, which can ostensibly get THC into the hops while looking like an innocent non-contraband plant. Thanks! Bill Bill Stewart, bill.stewart@pobox.com PGP Fingerprint D454 E202 CBC8 40BF 3C85 B884 0ABE 4639
