USN sailors smoking rope?

[riggerrob 643]

During the Second World War the United States Navy encouraged Mid-Western farmers to plant thousands of acres of hemp to be woven into ropes and sand-bags for the war effort. You can still find feral hemp growing in Illinois ditches today!
What if the United States Navy had given the wrong seeds to farmers? ...... and the wrong seeds contained significant amounts of THC?
What if a US Navy ship had been out to sea long that sailors ran out of tobacco?
What if bored sailors unravelled an anchor hauler in search of something to smoke?
What if they completely "dropped anchor" at the next port?
How would the upper decks react?

You gotta be fucking kidding right?

You smoke female flower in order to get high.

Hemp is made with male marijuana plant's fiber.

Even if hemp was made with female marijuana's fiber you wouldn't get high. Unless you grind it up and put them thru butane oil extracting process.

Um . . . you do realize that people have smoked hemp rope for pretty much that reason for decades; right?

I'm not saying it was ever very successful, but . . . people have tried for a LONG time.

Bored sailors ....... alone at sea for too many months ....... complete machine shop onboard ship ..... some chemistry or pharmaceutical skills ...... what could go wrong?

It would be easier just to ferment the prune juice and have a drink.

They got bored of prune juice months ago.

I'd recommend snorting the rope instead of smoking it.

If you are hard-fucking-core, I'd suggest main line, straight in to the vein.

Actually, instead of prune juice you needed to talk to the weapons guys. WWII torpedoes ran on ethyl alcohol and it wasn't unusual to drain a little torpedo juice. It also had methanol in it though and needed to be strained, (usually bread),because it could cause blindness or death. "Torpedo juice", the drink, is traditionally 3 parts pineapple juice to 2 parts everclear. Today's torpedoes run on Otto fuel which is extremely toxic and hazardous for the personnel doing maintenance on them.

Don't waste everclear. I use it to make the killer hashoil. And to Quade. Do I have to cap the E in everclear?

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

It's a proper noun, so you should. It's also a brand name. If you just want to talk about generic high potency distilled spirits, you should use another word.

Some cretin blew themselves up and set fire to our condo building while making that a couple of months ago.

I was in a hemp field yesterday.

While sitting the smoking their tobacco cigarets they would realise they should have told the crew that half the tobacco was actually packed in the tins labelled tea.

Commercial "Everclear" equals homemade: moonshine, white lightning, caribou, screech, etc.

When I was in the Navy, I was always told to take up scuba diving. Once the tanks were pressurized, they were not inspected.
