It was written on hemp. The same plant marijuana is cultivated from. In fact, in colonial times most farmers grew hemp. It was used to make paper, rope, clothing, sails, ect. George Washington grew the crop at his Mt. Vernon Plantation and Benjamin Franklin even owed a hemp paper mill. It was mainly for the fact that hemp was so cost effective and widely used that capitalist lobbyist lobbied to outlaw the plant; so the newspaper bigwigs who owned timber fields could profit from the sales of their wood paper. re:Legalize it.
