HEMP AND POT

Nice wording of the headline on the industrial hemp story, "Farmers seek
the freedom to grow hemp" (March 13).

In opposition to these farmers the Office of National Drug Control Policy
stated that "in many instances the mature plants (marijuana and hemp) look
the same."

That reflects stupidity based on ignorance. Are these the people we want
heading up our drug education policy?
