marijuana is already grown for its purpose and has been hybridized to the point that it would be STUPID to mix genes with hemp.

Marijuana prices expected to fall due to overproduction.

Indoor cultivation has led to three generations of a plant w/i a year, rather than an outdoor crop cycle. These plants have been bred for THC and are, therefore, cost effective... it takes less of the same thing to achieve the same result. It takes less time to grow these crops because they are grown in controlled circumstances that avoid just the cross-breeding you talk about.

Why would, say, a cabernet maker want to mix those strains with ones that make piss grapes?

Not only that, but the hybridization has reached a level that people can choose which properties to encourage, such as munchie (for cancer patients) vs. anti-munchie (for people visiting art museums.)

...just to say that the argument you present is exactly the opposite of the current reality.
