  1. Amy--

    This might be a workable image (though I admit I groaned a bit when I saw it; it's a little too close to the too-familiar legalizing pot argument). You do need to work at coming up with some more substantial questions though, questions that are a little richer in intellectual content (rather than just factual how do you grow it and for what type questions, whose answers you could find in an encyclopedia).

    Are there broader questions you can come up with? Certainly you could ask about THC and what its effects are. I was interested by the web address here. Maybe something there? Maybe something historical about legal issues? Are synthetic fibers taking the place of hemp these days?...I don't really know what good questions would be, but some research would help turn up some, I think.
