I had a Great Uncle who lived in Kansas, Missouri and he had a corn farm.
Between the corn plants, he grew hemp. When we went to visit them back when I
was a kid in the late 50s, my father's eyes popped out of his head when he was
all that stuff! He thought it was the real thing, he has since told me. He put
a few shoe boxes of it in the car before we drove back to New York and when we
got home he had a fight with my mother, who then threw his "pot" out the window
of our 6th floor apartment!

That's my pot story.

In Kansas, it is called "K" pot. During WW I, Kansas farmers grew
tremendous amounts of hemp for the war effort. Hemp has a small amount
of THC. You have to smoke about a bale to get a buzz. But the hemp
seeds lurk in the soil and K pot sometimes shows up along rural road
sides.
