If it's grown on good land, it takes away from the other crops that could have been grown on that good land.

I'm not opposed to hemp. I just think that the claim that it will be great for food production is a bit of a stretch.

Well, the people sneaking out and smoking that hemp, will get the munchies and increase the demand for food, which will cause an increase in production.
