Very interesting information that was totally new to me. When I was in college there was a saying people used in a joking manner. They said, “We buy you books & buy you books & send you to school & all you do is tear out the pages & eat them.” They were implying that we were not studying. Maybe we were getting more benefit from those books than at first met the eye.

Marijuana is going to be rescheduled soon. That means it will be available for medical purposes on the federal level. It will be equal to asprin and OTC drugs but not totally legalized and sold in stores.
Check out “The Rescheduling of Marijuana – report by Jon Gettman” on youtube.
The government is actually working on it, but it’s a slow proccess.

So, were you looking for an answer?
The kind of hemp you are talking about here is called industrial hemp. It has a very low THC content (0.5 to 1%) when compared to marijuana (3% to 20%).
Hemp was not the only crop a person could use for paying taxes. Tobacco, cotton, lumber and alcohol have all been used as currency in the United States.
