Well, I'm fur it. I live just down the road from the Pajaro Valley, in Hippieville, and a lot of people use and develop hemp products here. And I mean actual, legitimate hemp products, although there are the other kind, too.
The law enforcement angle is strictly bogus. Hemp gives little or no high; in fact, it mainly gives an ungodly headache when smoked, from what I'm told. Nobody's going to try to plant marijuana in the middle of their hemp fields, because the land could be seized. Most marijuana grown in California is grown in remote areas on public land, by squatters. And there are people who grow it in indoor hydroponics operations, in rented houses. But nobody's going to be crazy enough to try marijuana in fields they hold in their own name, or even leased fields. It's too "out there."
