Hemp, along with flax, was nearly completely pushed out of fabric manufacturing, and whole industry was switched to the cotton and synthetic fibre. Cotton, unlike flax and hemp needs specific conditions and could grow only in specific regions. Hemp and flax could grow everywhere, so you don't need an abroad source of raw materials for the domestic fabric manufacturing. And both, hemp and flax have superior properties over cotton for making fabric.
PS: Hemp perfectly grow in high lattitudes, it just does not produce significant amounts of THC.
You can make biofuels from hemp too. Hemp has been villainized for decades with Big Energy and Big Pharma reaping the rewards of one of the original disinformation campaigns.
That too. Hemp looks like a very useful plant for high lattitudes countries. But somehow it is villanized there, despite that at high lattitudes it just can't produce THC that was used as a reason of villanization. You just can't get high from the hemp grown somewhere in the fields of Gernamy or Canada. Or you have to somehow smoke out the whole field.
Yet another rabbit hole:
