probably jeans and cardigans and even boxers -- that are made out of
hemp. Not me. I do not have a single piece of apparel that's made from
hemp. To me, hemp clothing sounds decidedly uncomfortable, and
possibly even illegal."

Even though it may sound illegal to Barbara, hemp is legal and it is
grown in Canada. You can find more information on this on Vote Hemp's
Canada page at www.votehemp.com/canada.html.
