That's largely what you see in China. Northern forests for paper, some hemp in the ag areas but mostly food. Finland and Sweden are major paper producers but they couldn't grow hemp if they wanted. And Brazil grows eucalyptus in marginal soils(acidic post pasture that cant even support cattle grazing anymore, none the less hemp and what annual tillage would do for the erosion of already shitty soil) very quickly to produce a massive amount of paper(with it's own ecological problems). None of these have anything to do with US drug laws or monopolies.
