Teenagers find their field of dreams has gone to pot
To the teenagers who found it, the 35 acres must have seemed like the original field of dreams. Deepest Surrey is hardly the place you’d expect to find a cannabis plantation, but here were thousands of plants, laid out in rows, and up to 5ft tall.

We campaign so passionately on its behalf not only because hempseed oil has proved so successful for us—our hemp range of skin care products will account for almost 4 per cent of total sales in 2000 (our annual sales in 1999 were $996 million)—but also because we believe its countless applications make industrial hemp equally promising for other businesses.
