not even gonna start arguing this point. hemp is marijuana/cannabis with little to no cannbinoids.not really considered marijuana if there is no thc.. would you smoke marijuana w/no thc? no, cuz it's hemp.
another thing i found, if it is in fact "banana hemp" aka "manila hemp", its not really hemp anyways. the name just caught on.
Manila hemp, also known as manilla, is a type of fiber obtained from the leaves of the abacá (Musa textilis), a relative of the banana. It is mostly used to make ropes and it is one of the most durable of the natural fibers, besides true hemp. Other uses for manila fiber are coarse fabric and paper, including Manila envelopes and Manila papers.
It is not actually hemp, but named so because hemp was long a major source of fiber, and other fibers were sometimes named after it. The name refers to the capital of the Philippines, one of the main producers of abacá.
