Hemp by the DEA definition contains less than 0.3% THC - which is much different than transporting marijuana across state lines which is certainly illegal.
The Cole memorandum is still in effect and hasn't been changed.
You are completely misinformed about transporting marijuana across state lines. You stated: "Courtney Moran, of Portland, said a recent spending bill in Congress stripped the DEA and U.S. Department of Justice of the ability to spend money to stop the transportation of hemp across state lines"
First, the spending bill was about the DEA and Justice Department not being funded to enforce the Federal marijuana laws in states that legalized marijuana. And hemp isn't marijuana as is normally thought of - it is cannabis without the psychoactive component THC.
And it is completely misguided to think marijuana can be transported across state lines.
Courtney Moran, of Portland, said a recent spending bill in Congress stripped the DEA and U.S. Department of Justice of the ability to spend money to stop the transportation of hemp across state lines, a provision that effectively opened up interstate commerce.
Then you wrote the following: "Oregon's legalization process, as many growers were fuzzy on the divide between state policy and federal policy. In any event, growers have been successfully transporting across state lines."
That isn't true - please provide proof that Oregon growers are transporting marijuana across state lines.
