Hemp seeds are available in most of the "Health food" stores around here, as
is hempseed oil, which is apparently the newest miracle dietary supplement. Go
figure.

"Hemp" as in the plant for fiber and oil, actually contains little THC, which
is the active ingredient people smoke the stuff for. Since the "war on drugs"
people have been breeding for higher and higher (excuse the pun) THC content.
The original hemp was and is a wonderfully useful plant. Unfortunately, it is
forbidden for use here in the US at the moment.
