post shtf grow cannabis!!

Cannabis is indeed a very useful plant, but for the best rope etc you need to plant Hemp. This is far superior to cannabis indica/sativa for industrial purposes, and is the prefered seed for textiles etc. Modern cannabis culture is focussed on breeding the form of plant high in THC for consumption purposes, this is really not the genus for production purposes. In any scenario where the people can grow what they want it would be wise to have a good selection of industrial hemp seed for processing, and a good selection of "weed" seeds for their pharmaceutical properties. People should also be aware that many (not all) of those seeds you see on places like The Attitude Seedbank etc are mostly sub-tropical species and will not flower outside in our Northern latitude. Hemp can be grown outside in our climate and will thrive on very little fertiliser giving a large harvest of both fibre and seed, and it makes the BEST traditional bowstrings.
