Talk:Industrial hemp

Article should be merged with Hemp? Laurel Bush 11:40, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Hemp is a euphemism
In modern usage hemp is mostly a euphemism. The article title should refer to cannabis. Industrial cannabis, however, is currently a redirect to Hemp. Laurel Bush 10:33, 15 November 2005 (UTC).

Requested move
Industrial hemp is a euphemism. Or, perhaps, a tautology. Industrial is enough to distinguish cannabis cultivated for industrial purposes from cannabis for other purposes.

 * There are 558 google hits for "industrial cannabis", while 242,000 for "industrial hemp". It seems that the latter term is used much more often. Oppose. (On the other hand, I do not oppose a merge of hemp and industrial hemp.) - Mike Rosoft 10:02, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Hemp is the name of the crop.  Cannabis is the name of its genus.  Use common names rather than Latin taxonomy when they are commonly used and unambiguous, overwhelmingly so in this case.  Gene Nygaard 17:25, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

OK. I am about to try turning Industrial hemp into a redirect to Hemp, Laurel Bush 16:26, 22 December 2005 (UTC).
 * Shouldn't the article be merged into Hemp instead? They seem to talk about the same thing. Kusma (討論) 20:12, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Agree, this should be merged with Hemp, rather than Cannabis. older&ne;wiser 20:40, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Merging Industrial hemp into Hemp would resolve a dilemma of my own, that of which of the two articles other articles should be linked to. I would be happier working with the idea of industrial hemp as a (metaphorical) species of hemp. Does Industrial hemp cover any (metaphorical) ground not covered by Hemp? Is Industrial cannabis the only redirect to Industrial hemp? I do believe, however, the expression industrial hemp is a euphemism for the concept of industrial cannabis, which is itself a product of legalistic (and moralistic) machinations concerning cannabis.
