Industrial hemp contains almost none of the intoxicating chemicals found in its cousin, but many states outlawed it for fear that hemp growers expand their crop to include the more potent variety. Industrial hemp is used in the making of paper, rope, and cloth, and while legal to import products made of it, was illegal to grow in the United States.
