    Ignorant and idiotic. Like banning hemp rope for its relationship to cannabis.

      I mean, you can live without hemp rope, but cannabis is very illegal in South Korea, so they’re fine removing everything hemp

        Analogies are hard? Cannabis is harmless. Poppy seeds are harmless. Poppy seeds are related to opium the same way hemp is related to weed. Just like hemp/cannabis, not all poppies can make heroin.

          I read that poppie seeds regularly contain too much opioid and have to be pulled from sales. Hemp rope on the other hand is made from the stem of the plant, not the flower, so does not or barely contains THC.
