Yes... due to the amazing ignorance of government growing Industrial Hemp is illegal in these United States (although there have been small successes in some states)
Industrial Hemp is a far superior product to anything we are raising today for the same uses (ie cotton etc)
Allowing Industrial Hemp to be grown would actually reduce the potency of any marijuana grown in the area because of cross pollination of the species.
There are vast differences between the plants also.
You can grown about 4 marijuana plants in a 3' x 3' spot.
You grow hundreds of Industrial hemp plants in the same space.
A farmer can have 4x the productivity off the same piece of land versus growing cotton.
Industrial Hemp legalized in this country would be a great boon for our farmers.
