YT blows hemp assignment

I blame it all on the 35er

So, I had to run a few errands yesterday, and I thought I would use the opportunity to promote IWearWeed.com, another piece of the RateYours community.

Anyway, I thought I'd do a random survey asking people if they knew what hemp was and how it was different from its better known relative, marijuana. Essentially, I just wanted to clarify the fact that hemp is used for industrial applications, such as clothes, bioplastics, even food. 

Hemp is not a drug. Hemp is, however, real green.

Anyway, I asked two people - both knew what hemp was, and I stopped by DSW, to see if they had any hemp products, which they did not. 

Actually, I also checked out American Apparel for hemp shirts, but they didn't sell any either, but they did at least sell organic cotton shirts - I'll be printing my first YTsWorld t-shirts on these shirts (Also, for the record, the only place I've found hemp clothes in Old Town is Patagonia, though I've found hemp shoes at multiple places in Old Town, such as the Vans store.).

Then as I was heading back to the office, feeling as if I failed on my hemp quest, which I did, I stopped by the 35er. At the 35er, I thought, I could get at least one picture and interview on hemp, as I decided an anonymous survey was worthless unless I was going to ask hundreds of people.

However, I ran into friend, Alejandro, at the 35er as he was sketching ideas for potential paintings. One sketch is below. Sorry for the crappy photo. Only my phone camera is working right now. Anyway, this sketch took Alex about 2 minutes to draw, and he literally pumped out dozens more in the short time I was at the 35er.

So what you say? Fine. Show us your art.
