YT blows hemp assignment

I blame it all on the 35er

So, I had to run a few errands yesterday, and I thought I would use the opportunity to promote IWearWeed.com, another piece of the RateYours community.

Anyway, I thought I'd do a random survey asking people if they knew what hemp was and how it was different from its better known relative, marijuana. Essentially, I just wanted to clarify the fact that hemp is used for industrial applications, such as clothes, bioplastics, even food.

Hemp is not a drug. Hemp is, however, real green. Finish: YT blows hemp assignment

YT promotes IWearWeed - kind of

I blame it all on the 35er

So, I had to run a few errands yesterday, and I thought I would use the opportunity to promote IWearWeed.com.

Anyway, I thought I'd do a random survey asking people if they knew what hemp was and how it was different from its better known relative, marijuana. Essentially, I just wanted to clarify the fact that hemp is used for industrial applications, such as clothes, bioplastics, even food.

Hemp is not a drug. Hemp is, however, real green.

Anyway, I asked two people - both knew what hemp was, and I stopped by DSW, to see if they had any hemp products, which they did not.

Actually, I also checked out American Apparel for hemp shirts, but they didn't sell any either, but they did at least sell organic cotton shirts - I'll be printing my first YTsWorld t-shirts on these shirts (Also, for the record, the only place I've found hemp clothes in Old Town is Patagonia, though I've found hemp shoes at multiple places in Old Town, such as the Vans store.).

Then as I was heading back to the office, feeling as if I failed on my hemp quest, which I did, I stopped by the 35er. At the 35er, I thought, I could get at least one picture and interview on hemp, as I decided an anonymous survey was worthless unless I was going to ask hundreds of people.

No hemp at DSW

But good customer service

Since I'm in Paseo, I thought I would stop by DSW, and check their eco-friendly products. Unfortunately, they didn't have any. They used to have some recycled rubber products, but the salesperson couldn't find any in stock, but she did know what hemp was.

YT wonders: Do you know what hemp is

Its not a drug

So, I have to go to Paseo in Old Town to pick up some shirts. While im out I thought I would do a random survey about hemp.

Thus my survey question is do you know what hemp is?
