Two ND farmers are suing the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) because they believe it's their right as Americans to grow industrial hemp. Industrial hemp is different from marijuana in that it won't get one high. Industrial hemp doesn't contain as much THC; the drug in marijuana that gets smokers intoxicated. Industrial hemp is used to make textiles, paper, construction materials, car parts, food and body care products. Although I agree with the farmers and think they should be allowed to grow it, because it doesn't get anyone high, it is the law and I think the DEA is doing its job. I don't think the DEA is imposing on anyone's rights.
