Industrial hemp products are made from Cannabis plants selected to produce an abundance of fiber and minimal levels of THC (&#916;9- tetrahydrocannabinol), one psychoactive molecule that produces the &quot;high&quot; associated with marijuana. Various extracts including hashish and hash oil are also produced.[1] The cultivation and possession of Cannabis for recreational use is outlawed in most countries.<br/><div style='display:block;width:300px;overflow:hidden;'><a class="plime" href="/redir.p?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis</a></div> <br/>Hemp = Cannabis = Marijuana<br/>its only diffrent strains, like roses can have diffrent colors..]]></content><score></score><crdate>1/18/2008 2:34:33 PM</crdate><rssdate></rssdate><atomdate>2008-01-18T14:34:33+01:00</atomdate></comment><comment><id>181833</id><url>http://www.plime.com/law/l/47689/1/xml_widget.rss#q2</url><title><![CDATA[cometmanandtare @ 1/18/2008 12:54:06 PM]]></title><content><![CDATA[This article seems to have confused Marijuana with Hemp, these are two seperate plants, though they are both species of the Cannabis.
