What I've noticed with highly hopped brews is that . . .

The effects are like that of crack...you get all 'hopped' up and then you
actually start to feel the hoppiness-buzz leave and you want to drink
more...strangely addictive...

IIPA...

What's interesting is how similar in appearance hops are to Can abyss.
Part of the same plant family, makes one wonder. In any event my earlier
daze has long since subsided and I stick to only legal spirits

Years ago, a German brewer (working at Penn Brewery) told me he didn't like
hoppy ales and drew the connection between hops and cannabis. I think it's urban
legend.

No, it's true. See
http://www.csdl.tamu.edu/FLORA/Wilso...ot/humuoth.htm for
instance. No THC in humulus though.

Similar in appearance?! What *have* you been smoking? I
grow hops, and, um, had a friend, yeah, a friend[*], once upon
a time who grew a few cannabis plants. Aside from a similarity
born by almost anything green that grows, they don't look the
same at all. Fresh or processed.

The urban legend I was referring to was that there is THC in hops. Sorry I
wasn't clear.

No THC, I agree with that however--- interestingly aromatic.

Hmmm ... you plant them in the spring, and just before the first
frost in the autumn, they're about 8-12 feet tall, and you harvest
the unfertilized female flowers ... hmmmmm.

Hops are planted before the spring-- they're a perennial.

>...and just before the first frost in the autumn...

Hops are harvested in late summer or very early autumn.

Hop bines get to about 40 feet tall (except for new dwarf
varieties).

>...and you harvest the unfertilized female flowers ... hmmmmm.

Some hop varieties (typically British) have seeds.
But I'll grant you half that one.

That reminds me, I have to cut down my (decorative)
hop bines. They're *way* past prime.
