Farm Bill Legislation May Springboard Federal Hemp Acceptance

CannabisNewsWire Editorial Coverage: The United States House passed the 2018 Farm Bill, which will redefine subsidies to farmers, nutritional welfare recipients, conservationists and others. Tucked into this bill of more than 1,000 pages is hemp legalization legislation supported by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Demand – and thus farming revenue – for tobacco is waning, and McConnell says hemp farming could help bolster farming communities in his home state of Kentucky and across the country. Currently listed as a controlled substance under federal law, the new bill will declassify hemp as a schedule 1 drug and label it as a viable agricultural commodity.

I reached out to my Senator Bob Casey who is a cosponsor of this legislation S. 2667 would exclude industrial hemp from the definition of marijuana in the Controlled Substance Act.
The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, or the Farm Bill, was passed by the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry with a vote of 20-1.

Things are starting to shape up.
