Trump signs Farm Bill and legalizes hemp, boosting Tennessee's newest cash crop

The new law will make it possible to buy crop insurance for hemp, erasing some of the risk for farmers who want to expand into the new market, and allow hemp to be moved across state lines, expanding options for exports and sales.

The Farm Bill removes this designation [controlled substance] and reclassifies hemp as an agricultural product,

Hemp for rope or dope?

Hemp can be used for CBD, but by definition has a very low THC component, you can't get high.

Hemp based polymers and products would go a long way towards reducing the amount of petroleum based products we make, but its still not gonna be a significant change due to the rest of the industrial world still using petroleum based products

On the other hand, its great to see innovation coming from the use of hemp and other plants for practical applications such as rope, yarn, textiles, paper, cardboard, plastics based on hemp polymers...

Hemp, which is closely related to marijuana but has no psychoactive effect, has been classified as a controlled substance under federal law for decades. The Farm Bill removes this designation and reclassifies hemp as an agricultural product, legally distancing hemp from pot, which is still illegal to grow in most states.

Hemp for industrial purposes is nothing new, so it is good to see some semblance of sanity returning to the cultivation of said. It is documented that George Washington grew hemp at Mount Vernon for the purpose of that era (e.g., rope, cloth, sail, etc.).

It's about fricking TIME!

History Of Hemp In The US | Hemp History - Ministry of Hemp

• 2015: The Industrial Hemp Farming Act (H.R. 525 and S. 134) was introduced in the House and Senate. If passed, it would remove all federal restrictions on industrial hemp and legalize its cultivation.

And it took three years for our so-called leaders to get this baby passed? Lemme guess which side busted their butts to keep a substance that doesn't even get a person high, from being implemented? A bunch of idiots back there in DC!

Just before and During WWII right here around Silverton some farmers grew a LOT of hemp. There was a processing plant half way in between where I grew up and town. Right after the war the contracts ended the plant closed and the farmers went back to what ever crop was going to make them the most money based on their farms.

In High school in the mid 70's there were still 2-3 places around the area where Hemp had gotten out and went wild. One friends farm had about a 1 acre wild field of it that had been on the edge of a WWII field. We never even tried to smoke it would have been a waste of time. You could have smoked it like a cigg addict and wouldn't have gotten high. But it did make for some interesting photos. Posing girl friends etc. in a huge field of "POT". None of them made it into the annual at high school though LOL.
