North Dakota farmers Wayne Hauge and David Monson, who wish to grow crops of industrial hemp, appeared with their case in the U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals last week.  This post at StopTheDrugWar.org said it could take weeks or months to get a decision.

Monson and Hauge maintain that industrial hemp (used in products ranging from lotions to clothing) is not the same plant as marijuana.
