IDIOTIC RESPONSE

Re: Russell Barth's Sept. 18 letter about hemp, or to be more precise 
the Sun's idiotic
response "You're obviously high on hemp, Russell."

Industrial hemp contains 0% THC or any other pychoactive substances
so, no, Russell is not high on hemp as that is impossible.

Industrial hemp has been a huge part of global industry throughout
history. It is 60% more efficient to make paper with than trees. It
can also be used to make ethanol and plastic alternatives. A small
handful of its seeds contains more fatty and amino acids than fish,
meaning we wouldn't have to continue to overfish.

(The comment alluded to Russell being enthusiastic about hemp.)
