Should these industrial hemp farmers win their lawsuit against the Drug Enforcement Agency?

Arguments by two North Dakota farmers who say they have a right to grow industrial hemp cannot change “unambiguous” federal law prohibiting commercial cultivation of the plant, Justice Department lawyers say. Farmers Dave Monson and Wayne Hauge also have no more standing to sue than someone who wants to use drugs recreationally, the lawyers said in their response to the farmers’ request that a judge rule in their favor without a trial. Unless the federal Drug Enforcement Administration takes action against the farmers, the government lawyers say, Monson and Hauge “are in the same position as any hypothetical plaintiff who seeks to change federal drug law so that he can grow, smoke and/or sell marijuana free from DEA oversight.”
