Idiots Fear Hemp Fields in California

[SHRED]

No medicinal/recreational grower of Marijuana would want a hemp field anywhere NEAR their crop. Hemp cross-pollination destroys the marijuana flowering process. This whole argument that pot growers can hide their crop in hemp fields is nonsense and an outright lie.

3. It would matter. I wouldn't want a hemp field within 50 miles of my medical cannabis patch ...

... if I was downwind of it.

In fact, if drug worriers wanted to end outdoor cultivation of medical cannabis, they would allow hemp farming everywhere.
