I think it's his metaphors that gets Hobson in trouble . Something he might write would be, "As in the war of 1812...(something something) when hemp was the hot commodity (something something) Jerome Simpson (something something)...." and nobody would understand hemps' role in the importance to war ships of the day. The sails were almost all made from hemp fiber, but we all know about Jerome and weed..
