that is a good one

1. hemp and marijuana are the same plant
2. the amount makes the poison
3. it is good for so many more things
4. pretty sure you can make a broom, and clean the soil. although that is not what is meant. the speed at witch it grows makes it a good plant to get heavy metals out of the soil in short time,just like sunflowers.
5. Not sure, if it is the plant or the psychoactive compound listed as illegal…
