That's why we can't grow industrial hemp here.

The DEA also tried to block the import of hemp products that could be ingested, but got knocked down in the US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals a few years back.

The ban on growing low-THC industrial hemp is perhaps the single stupidest thing about pot prohibition, and that's saying something.
