look it up, the weave is based on overhand knots and is super super easy to do, hemp rope is cheep as hell at craft shops if you have no hemp, and yes hemp is the same plant, canabis sativa, but it has almost no thc whatsoever, trust me i have tried everything growing up, making iso hash from it, smoking blunts or 11 massive pipe bowls of it in a row, even as sinsemilla it is uselless, just looks cool. oh well and the fact that an acre of hemp can make as much paper as an acre of rainforest...considering a rainforest takes at least 300 years to grow and a field of hemp can be ready in 3 months it really makes ya wonder what kinda people run the world ya know? i heard the name marijuana came from the female name "maria juana" wich would me the spanish version of "mary jane".
