13. I'm worried about GM hemp pollinating recreational and medicinal crops
It's a serious issue, and pretty much the same reason I'm opposed to all GM crops.

Selecting and breeding crops for good traits is completely different than removing and splicing genes. That's what the Mayans did with maize, and then Monsanto started modifying corn genes directly and screwed up all that hard work.
