Marijuana (mah-ruh-HWAHN-uh) Marijuana
is a habit-forming drug that over-excites people. It
is against the law to use it. The
drug is obtained from the leaves and flowers of the hemp plant.
This plant is usually raised to obtain fibers for rope and other
products. Indian hemp and similar
plants have been known and used since ancient times.
Marijuana,
when used as a narcotic, is smoked as cigarettes.
It is often associated with crime and other anti-social activities.
A person under the influence of this drug suffers severe physical and
mental effects starting with over-gaiety, talkativeness and feelings of
grandeur. However, these
feelings deteriorate into mental confusion, faulty speech and delirium.
The
greatest danger in the use of marijuana is that it is known to lead its users
into the use of even more violent and dangerous drugs.
Most nations in the world have banded together in an attempt to ban the
use and distribution of marijuana. The
raising of the hemp plant is strictly regulated in the
United States

Hemp Hemp
is a plant that is used to make rope, twine, yarn, and paper products.
It has long stems, from six to nine feet high.
The stems are soaked in water and left outside to rot.
Then they are crushed and beaten to separate the fibers from the other plant
cells.
Hemp
is an annual plant, grown from seed. Some
plants produce pollen, or staminate, flowers,
and others produce ova and are the ovulate flowers. Pollen
flowers are yellowish-green. Ovulate
flowers bloom later and are not so colorful.
When the flowers die the stalks are cut down.
Hemp plants need a wet, mild climate.
Hemp
seeds contain oil used in paints and varnishes and in making soap.
MARIJUANA, a dangerous drug, comes
from the sap of the hemp plant. For
this reason hemp growers in the
United States
must have a permit to cultivate the crop.
Manila
hemp, or abaca, is not a true hemp.
Manila rope has been made from abaca since the sailing ship days of the
eighteen hundreds. Abaca fibers are
tough and light and can be obtained in lengths from six to twelve feet. P. G. B. (Phyllis
