@NickEast_IndieWriter@mastodon.art could easily be possible. why not, the plant was freely available back then. and it was used. one older german word for tobacco is "knaster", stemming from the verb "knistern", meaning "to crackle, making cracking noise". this comes from the fact that some tobacco really was crackling when being burned because it had hempseeds in it. there was no ideological rejection of hemp comsumption back then.
