MSNBC Tells Industrial Hemp Story In a feature story on the DEA destruction of an Ogala Sioux hemp field, MSNBC explains: "So-called industrial hemp, which lacks pot’s chemical potency, has been used for centuries in everything from clothing to lip balm. Marijuana usually has at least 5 percent or more of the hallucinogen tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), but industrial hemp contains less than 1 percent — far from enough to give even a mild high. And while marijuana remains illegal in most countries, the industrial hemp movement has gained momentum in recent years. . ."
