The 2018 Farm Bill made the production of hemp, the traditionally nonpsychoactive cousin of marijuana , legal for the first time in nearly a century .
The push to legalize hemp emerged in the 1980s , thanks mainly to a cannabis enthusiast and head-shop owner named Jack Herer .
Herer claimed the federal government had targeted hemp because its textile applications threatened politically connected magnates.
The 2018 Farm Bill defines hemp as “the plant Cannabis sativa L. and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers.
As long as your plant, and whatever you make with it, contains less than 0.3 percent delta-9 THC , you can do what you want.
Hemp-based intoxicants aren’t limited to delta-8 THC , but the total THC content is five to 10 times as high as legal.
The seeming overnight ubiquity of hemp intoxicants is a source of anxiety for the marijuana industry.
Cannabis Regulators Association has also asked Congress to establish that states can choose to restrict hemp within their borders.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis launched a political-action committee to fight a state ballot initiative that would legalize recreational marijuana.
