Farmers sue DEA for right to grow industrial hemp

A decent article.

They should have pointed out however that hemp fields will ruin sensimillia/marijuana gardens via cross-pollination and subsequent seed growth that stops the flowering process.
This is why the argument that people will "hide their pot plants in hemp fields" is so fucking ludicrous yet you hear it all the time from DEA/law enforcement and the unthinking among us.

Farmers sue DEA for right to grow industrial hemp
By Eliott C. McLaughlin
CNN

(CNN) -- The feds call industrial hemp a controlled substance -- the same as pot, heroin, LSD -- but advocates say a sober analysis reveals a harmless, renewable cash crop with thousands of applications that are good for the environment.

Two North Dakota farmers are taking that argument to federal court, where a November 14 hearing is scheduled in a lawsuit to determine if the Drug Enforcement Administration is stifling the farmers' efforts to grow industrial hemp. The DEA says it's merely enforcing the law.
