The Justice Department wants a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by two North Dakota farmers who have applied for permission to grow industrial hemp. Dave Monson and Wayne Hauge (HOW'-ghee) sued the Drug Enforcement Administration for not acting on their application. A motion filed in federal court in Fargo asks that the lawsuit be thrown out. The motion was filed by U-S Attorney Drew Wrigley and Justice Department attorneys in Washington. It says D-E-A policies can only be reviewed by a federal appeals court. And it says federal law does not distinguish between industrial hemp and its cousin, marijuana. The farmers' lawsuit asks a federal judge to recognize that hemp can legally be grown in North Dakota, through a state licensing process.
