What are the negatives of Industrial Hemp?
I'm trying to find out more information about the plant I know all the positives and how much it can do, but I also know it is in the same family as pot. However, I heard that the industrial hemp is a different variation in which you cannot get high off of. So I just want to here any other negatives before I decide on this matter.
Well Britbrit apparently hemp can do many things like make paper and other countless products, but I'm not exactly sure with it so I'm gaining more info to make an educated conclusion unlike you have apparently. But I am curious why do you believe it is negative?

It is true that one cannot get high from industrial hemp. The "concern" that the federal government has is that farmers will hide pot cannabis into the hemp crops. The negatives are the same as any crop that is grown using industrialized agriculture; soil nutrient depletion, soil erosion, water consumption, fossil fuel consumption, destruction of biodiversity, use of pesticides and inorganic fertilizers and their runoff, and increase in pest populations. From an economical standpoint, hemp would damage the cotton and paper industries because hemp surpasses these two materials in both fields. Lobbyists are a real pain in the butt sometimes.
