Carter Note: Parenthetical remark by the Sun editor. 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. E.
