Industrial hemp is grown as row crops, tightly packed like corn. Depending on if the crop is for seed or coarse/fine fiber, the plant spacing will be wider for seed and cordage production (fat stalks make thick fiber) and tighter for finer textiles (that rival the best cotton). When seen from a helicopter, a hemp field is uniform, just like other crops. When cannabis is grown for buds and thc production, the plants, which ARE genetically different from hemp, they are spaced out much further than row crops are (imagine a christmas tree farm). FURTHERMORE, the hemp would pollinate the "secret" crop, put it to seed as a hemp/marijuana hybrids (garbage for breeding) and destroy any good buds. You cannot just "hide" THC-laden buds in with a hemp crop.
Go inform yourself.

I call shenanigans!
