Hemp Is A Schedule 1 Drug.

U.S. law governing hemp – from Kentucky Agriculture Department site http://www.kyagr.com/

 Under the current U.S. drug policy, all cannabis varieties, including hemp, are considered Schedule I controlled substances under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA, 21 U.S.C. §§801 et seq.; Title 21 CFR Part 1308.11). Hemp production is controlled and regulated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). It is illegal to grow hemp without a DEA permit. Cannabis varieties may be legitimately grown for research purposes only.
Kentucky Agriculture Department.THC levels for hemp generally are less than 1 percent. Federal legislation that would exclude hemp from the legal definition of marijuana would set a ceiling of 0.3 percent THC for a cannabis variety to be identified as hemp. Marijuana refers to the flowering tops and leaves of psychoactive cannabis varieties, which are grown for their high content of THC. THC levels for marijuana average about 10 percent but can go much higher.

When many people hear that hemp is classified as a Schedule 1 drug they either don’t believe it or they laugh at how ridiculous this sounds. What is not so funny is the amount of hungry people in the US, Central America and Africa for instance, who could benefit from a robust hemp industry.

The US government is pouring huge amounts of (borrowed) money into border patrols and fences designed to prevent hungry people from sneaking into our country. The majority of these people are from Central America. Instead, shouldn’t we be working hard to improve the living conditions for the people living in Central America? The answer is yes, and the best way to accomplish this would be to revive the industrial hemp industry – not only in Central America but Africa and the US as well.

Just think what the industrial hemp revolution could do for all the hungry children, stagnant economies and even the environment. Hemp is the miracle plant of our time, breathing in 4x the carbon dioxide (CO2) of trees during it’s quick 12-14 week growing cycle. Trees take 20 years to mature vs 4 months for Industrial Hemp! Our forests are being cut down 3x faster than they can grow! One acre of hemp produces as much cellulose fiber pulp as 4.1 acres of trees!!! (Dewey & Merrill. Bulletin #404. U.S. Dept. of Ag 1916)

Does anyone see a downside to the re-legalization of hemp or the hemp industry? Since the USA is the only industrialized country that still prohibits hemp use – we could ask the rest of the world – even the communist countries(!) what they use hemp for – and if they have seen any unintended consequences from using it.

In all fairness – here is what the DEA has to say about hemp as a Schedule 1 drug. News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 9, 2001

While most of the THC in cannabis plants is concentrated in the marijuana, all parts of the plant, including hemp, have been found to contain THC. The existence of THC in hemp is significant because THC, like marijuana, is a schedule I controlled substance. Federal law prohibits human consumption and possession of schedule I controlled substances. In addition, they are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration for medical use.

The following lists are from the DEA web site.

Imagine that – shampoo made with hemp is OK but a veggie burger made with nutritious hemp seeds is illegal because it may contain negligible amounts of THC. One would need to eat a veggie burger the size of an older model Buick in order to get high from a hemp seed burger!

If I were an elected official I’d be concerned the voters are no longer buying this kind of outdated information. This could and perhaps should turn into a credibility issue for them. Does anyone believe hemp should be classified as a Schedule 1 drug? I don’t think so.

There are 45 million Americans living in poverty – everyone of them should be allowed – even encouraged by Uncle Sam to grow their own hemp for food, clothing, shelter and clean fuel.

Hemp For Victory! Remember that campaign? What happened to it?

Lets bring it back. Re-legalize hemp – and see the most beneficial & peaceful revolution ever.

LOL Hemp is not a drug! If it was stores could not sell Hemp Seed oil, Hemp seed protein, or Hemp Clothing!

http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/03/29/hemp-cannabis-and-marijuana-whats-the-difference/

Under US law, the definitions are clear. Different parts of the same cannabis plant are defined as hemp and other parts as cannabis or marijuana, and the seed may be defined as either, depending upon its viability. According to US law, hemp is the stalks, stems and sterilized seeds of cannabis sativa, and marijuana is the leaves, flowers and viable seeds of cannabis sativa. Male or female cannabis has no differentiation by law or science, beyond gender. Of course, you can’t get any cannabis or hemp seeds except via female flowers fertilized by male pollen. Just as there are different varieties of corn, there are different varieties of cannabis. The varieties of cannabis that are over-regulated but legal in Canada & Europe are those that produce less than 0.3 percent THC. Since most THC is in the flowers, these low THC varieties are specifically bred to have very few flowering sites, thus little THC. Unfortunately, these ‘low THC but legal in Canada & Europe’ varieties, which I call dwarf hemp, produces very little seed and half the fiber compared to varieties of cannabis with more THC.


http://www.bodymindsoulspirit.com/difference-between-industrial-hemp-and-cannabis/



The difference is in its use. Hemp and Marijuana both come from the same plant – Cannabis Sativa L. The term ‘Hemp’ commonly refers to the industrial/commercial use of the cannabis stalk and seed for textiles, foods, papers, body care products, detergents, plastics and building materials. The term ‘marijuana’ refers to the medicinal, recreational or spiritual use involving the smoking of cannabis flowers. Industrial hemp contains only about 0.3% – 1.5% THC (Tetrahydrocannabinoids, the intoxicating ingredients that make you high) while marijuana contains about 5% – 10% or more THC. Hemp fibre is the longest, strongest and most durable of all natural fibres. Hemp cultivation requires no chemicals, pesticides or herbicides. Grown in rotation with other crops such as corn and legumes, hemp farming is completely sustainable. Hemp produces four times as much fibre per acre as pine trees. Hemp tree-free paper can be recycled up to seven times, compared with three times for pine-pulp based papers. Hemp is easy to grow, and actually conditions soil where it grows. The seed and seed-oil are high in protein, essential fatty and amino acids, and vitamins. Hemp would be an ideal source of biomass for fuel, and hemp Ethanol burns very cleanly.

Thanks 'johngoodboy' this is why the De-scheduling for Hemp should not be a problem.
