Hemp and marijuana can easily cross-pollinate, but plant a hemp seed and no substance on Earth can turn it into reefer. In fact, if a marijuana plant is within seven and a half miles of a hemp plant, the potency of it will decrease steeply because of cross-pollination.
             Hemp is one of the oldest industries in history, evidence shows that its use goes back as far as ten-thousand years ago- to the beginnings of pottery. The oldest relic of human industry is a fragment of hemp fabric dating back to about 8,000 BC. In Elizabethan times, European farmers were fined if they didn't grow hemp.
