Contrary to William Dartnall's comments about dope-smoking fishermen (Letters, May 2), any hemp cultivated in the Hempshires of the old town of Brighton would not make a good joint.
According to David West: "The THC levels in industrial hemp are so low that no one could ever get high from smoking it. Moreover, hemp contains a relatively high percentage of another cannabinoid, CBD, that actually blocks the marijuana high."
Hemp, it turns out, is not only not marijuana, it could be called "anti-marijuana".
