The irony of current cannabis laws is that that they keep the air relatively
free of cannabis pollen, which makes conditions more favorable for outdoor
cultivation of high-potency, seedless drug cannabis. If there were industrial
hemp and ditchweed growing all over the place, airborne pollen would pollinate
the drug crops, greatly reducing the quality and value. Legalizing industrial
hemp would effectively drive drug cannabis cultivation indoors.
