Fibre hemp was sown in Latvia again, 114 hectares of it by farmers around Krāslava, in the east. Hemp had once stood beside flax among the country's main crops, and in the nineteenth century the British fleet used ropes of Riga hemp. A textile-industry leader warned growers that they could end up at a police station, proving for half a year that their plants held nothing harmful.[1]
