Is this true about the Declaration of Independence?

Question

The Declaration of Independence was written on hemp (marijuana) paper.

Answer 1

Well, just because you didn't hear about it doesn't mean it's not true. Yes, it was written on hemp paper. Very common during those days, and tended to last a long time. Too bad the ink hasn't lasted as long as the paper.

Answer 2

i've never ever heard of that in my entire life, and why the h**l would they right on that kind of paper anyways, think about it lol

Answer 3

I've not heard that, but it sounds reasonable.  If I understand correctly, the hemp grown for use as rope and fiber is not the same variety as is smoked.

Answer 4

Read the link above. Both hemp and weed are varieties of the mulberry specie, but there is no high in hemp.

Silk worms eat mulberry leaves; can you get high from wearing silk?
