Hemp of the Indians????

[Bob Norton]

Excuse me? "The hemp of the Indians"? Not American Indians. Hemp is an
old-world plant brought over by settlers. If the Indians had any hemp, they
were buying it from whites. I challange you to name a single Amerind ritual
from the 17th, 18th, or 19th century involving hemp. The only Indians in
this period with hemp rituals are the ones on the other side of the planet.
