Andy the Rope Walk at Chatham Dockyard not only shows how rope was made, but
is now a viable manufacturing enterprise. Could it be the 'raw materials'
for them?

I was there this summer - and was rather surprised to see a field full
of cannabis plants! (on the 'hillside' as you walk along the path from
the rain forest, away from the biomes). I guess they were hemp, but
there was no doubting the family. There were a lot of them too - but no
mention anywhere that I could see as to why they were planted.

Anyone know?

I know what hemp is, how its grown and what its used for. And I know
what the difference is between it and smokeable marijuana.

What I wondered was whether anyone knew why they were growing a field
full of it at the Eden Project. Most things they have there a fairly
detailed description and explanation for the 'exhibit'. There was
nothing for the cannabis field. (And it did smell a bit stronger than
standard hemp - but I'm sure it could only have been hemp - there wasn't
any security around it, so it couldn't have been licenced marijuana
cultivation.
