Most of you believe Napoleon was short and many of you believe Germany started WWI.

A lot of you think that making alcohol from corn (maze) will impact food supplies or that hemp should be banned because people can get high smoking it.

Where dose that leave you?

All of these were politically motivated lies people still believe. Maybe a few people are latching on to it because they want to believe it but most likely it is just to support their man and truth is ignored. In a year maybe 2% will still say they believe it.

About 50% of those are true though.

Napoleon was short compared to other European aristocrats and we have ample evidence that certain varieties of Hemp were grown by medieval farmers as much as a drug as a fibre for rope.
