Do you thinks it is at all possible that fish in the UK have once fed on hemp seed that was once growing naturally along river sides and shed its seed into the water?
its assumed hemp seed was gradually introduced to fish and they now are used to it
I found a hemp plant growing by a river last year, out in the sticks mind you, right next to what looked like a peg and can only guess someone was using uncooked hemp perhaps to use for fishing, I took some of the leaves home (to feed my rabbit obviously) but it did get me wondering if before it was banned as a plant, it might of flourished, maybe even last century like all the street names and areas with the word hemp in them alot of them are close to rivers or running water courses like brooks where I'm assuming they were for retting in water and drying to be used for fibre etc
