The worst aspect of the DEA is that they still resist the cultivation of industrial hemp--which has absolutely NO potential for use as a drug, and which in addition to being useful in the production of textiles and a carbon-negative cement substitute also has amazing properties as a cheap, nutritious food source.

not to quibble, but that statement is false. while industrial hemp was selectively bred to produce more leaf/fiber and less flower, there is still thc in the flower, even though at a much lower percentage than those strains selectively bred for recreational/medicinal use.
it's possible to make quite potent hash from marijuana stems, I can't imagine the same is true of hemp (at least using a reasonable amount).
I suspect smoking hemp would give you a feeling more associated with smoke inhalation or lack of oxygen than anything close to the effect of the cannabanoids.
