Isn't hemp a different plant than marijuana? Same genus different species? Otherwise the hemp cord you buy to make jewelry would essentially be pot in rope form. I've read that hemp is actually an anti-high when burned. Of course I just read it, and I can't remember where. Anyone know?

I think a lot of people are missing a very important part of this story. These parents did something a lot of adults fail to do: they listened to their child. And they are not twisted. If you bothered to read the article, Sid, you'd know that they are very loving, and were very worried at first, and that they did take their child to a "shrink." They're not just being wishy-washy parents acting on every single one of their child's whims. In fact, they've struggled with this for years before they decided to make a change. They're allowing their child to express herself. Maybe it'll pass, maybe it won't. If it continues, "Jazz" will most likely be a very happy woman, since she has such a loving and supporting family behind her. But if it is a "phase" and it does pass, the important thing is that the parents went with it, and allowed their child to deal with it, instead telling them to shut up and "go wash the dishes." It's those children who are shut up and stifled who live the rest of their lives saying "what if," who are going to be frustrated adults, and will end up on your sex offender list, Sid. Thankfully, some kids aren't raised in a neatly labelled little box these days.
