Kentucky: Hemp Farming Can Move Ahead Under New DOJ Policy, Ag Commissioner Says
8/31/13
Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner James Comer said on Friday this week's policy change by the U.S. Department of Justice, under which the DOJ agreed to defer any lawsuits against states which legalize recreational marijuana, also clears the way for farmers to begin growing industrial hemp in the Bluegrass State.
The DOJ announced the new policy on Thursday, allowing states to legalize and regulate the cultivation, sales and use of marijuana as long as the changes protect children and prevent cannabis from entering the black market, reports the Courier-Journal.
Comer called the federal policy reversal a "major victory" for Kentucky farmers; he had spearheaded a hemp bill through this year's session of the Legislature. Officials indicated hemp cultivation could begin within a year.
Hemp, like marijuana, is a variety of the cannabis plant, but industrial hemp is grown for the fiber in its stalks and for the nutritional oil in its seeds, which contain a favorable ratio of the essential fatty acids (EFAs), Omega 3-6-9. Federal law, however, treats hemp the same as marijuana.
"It's about time," Comer said. "Two years ago, the Obama administration would not even discuss the legalization of industrial hemp. But through a bipartisan coalition of Kentucky leaders, we forced their hand."
Senate Bill 50, backed by Comer, created a process to regulate hemp production if the federal government allows it. It won broad support as it passed the Legislature earlier this year, but federal laws have remained a barrier to its implementation.
The Kentucky Industrial Hemp Commission is scheduled to meet on September 12, and Comer said he will urge commission members to move forward on the administrative paperwork established under SB 50 at that meeting.
"Had we not passed the framework to responsibly administer a program, we would be lagging behind right now rather than leading the pack," Comer said.
A Courier-Journal Bluegrass Poll conducted in February found 65 percent of Kentuckians favored legalizing hemp, compared to 22 percent opposed and 13 percent unsure.
Nice close, hopefully next week the rise continues...

Federal Prosecutors Told Not To Focus On Marijuana Users
by MARK MEMMOTT
August 29, 2013 1:31 PM
Federal prosecutors are being told by Attorney Gen. Eric Holder to focus on cartels, criminal enterprises and those who sell the drug to children, not on casual marijuana users, a Justice Department official tells NPR's Carrie Johnson.
Holder today informed the governors of Washington and Colorado — two states that recently legalized the sale of marijuana for personal use — about the new guidelines for prosecutors, the official adds.
Bu the new guidelines will apply to all states, not just Washington, Colorado and those where "medical marijuana" is legal.
"Based on assurances that those states will impose an appropriately strict regulatory system, the Department has informed the governors of both states that it is deferring its right to challenge their legalization laws at this time," Justice said in a statement.
Thursday's news comes the same week that Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said he would call Holder to Capitol Hill to spell out how the Justice Department would handle marijuana offenses in states that have legalized small amounts of the drug.
Earlier this month, Holder spelled out the Obama administration's objections to "draconian mandatory minimum sentences" for non-violent offenders — many of whom would include drug users.
Update at 3:03 p.m. ET. Leahy Welcomes New Guidance:
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., says he welcomes the new guidelines issued by the Justice Department.
"Our oversight on this issue was intended to provide movement on this policy question," Leahy said in a statement. "All the more in a time when federal resources are especially scarce, the Justice Department should focus on countering and prosecuting violent crime, while respecting the will of the states whose people have voted to legalize small amounts of marijuana for personal and medical use."
Update at 1:58 p.m. ET. The Memo:
The Justice Department has posted its memo to U.S. Attorneys (pdf). In it, the department lays out what it is concerned about. Among other things, it is prioritizing preventing the distribution of marijuana to minors, preventing the transfer of pot to states where it's not legal and preventing pot from being used as a "cover or pretext for the trafficking of other illegal drugs or other illegal activity."
Alan's prediction of .0015 was totally off. Glad I did not listen to him.
Time to make some $$$$$$$!!!!!!!
