Sutliff Section: Page: A 16 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? Gerald M. Sutliff Emeryville
