MDMD Chapter 28: Washington

[Otto]

"With luck, between the Navy and the New York-Fops, we could get rid of it
all, Male and Fimble, and see us some profit." (278.16-18)

The Navy gets the rope (made from the male plants) and the NY-Fops get the
dope (made from the female). A fine example of the "binary" use of hemp.
This statement is commonly used as an evidence that Washington not only
traded unhallucinatory hemp products. The arguments says it would make no
sense to differentiate the Male from the Fimble if not for drug-use.
