I hear you on many of your points. However, take a look at the FDA GRAS notice for dehulled hemp seed:

Fresh Hemp Foods states that dehulled hemp seed is derived from varieties of Cannabis sativa L. with low THC content, known as industrial hemp. Fresh Hemp Foods states that hemp seeds themselves do not produce THC, and that THC present in dehulled hemp seed comes from contact between the seeds and cannabinoid-containing resins from other plant parts during growth, harvest, and processing.

The FDA has already acknowledge that some amount of hemp derived THC can be present in even a GRAS substance, which is even less regulated than a dietary supplement.

FDA needs to make a determination for the leaves and flowers or even the whole plant. Regulating only CBD is not just missing the point of the Farm Bill, it also leaves a bunch of other cannabinoids totally unregulated.

What about CBN, CBC, CBG or the 100+ other cannabinoids? These are not in any FDA approved drugs. So, the FDA has no IND preclusion to stand on when people start pumping CBN isolate into smoothies.

FDA has to think bigger than one molecule at a time. I recently saw a company advertising hemp derived THC-V isolate. This is a glimpse of the next wild west if they don't make regs for the plant, but only for CBD. THC-V is not an ingredient in any FDA approved drug.
