Re: Hemp Gi (well, sort of)

That sounds like a fine dogi. Hemp is a high quality material. As far as making jokes like calling you a weed smoker, that would make me a hypocrite, as I have partaken of the cannabis at some points in my life. I found it comical when I learned that George Washington had a substantial amount of marijuana in his yard, mainly for fabrics, but my random guess is he and Martha enjoyed the mild hallucinogen from time to time. When I was a kid, every American president was like a perfectly straight-edged deity. Now I think differently.

I didn't know hemp was stronger than cotton, but is it actually rather comfortable? I remember how fun it was to show up at the dojo in something other than tee shirt and shorts one day; it was a mildly euphoric experience. And it was a natural high ;-)
