Hemp Farming Act of 2018

The Hemp Farming Act of 2018 is a federal law that legalizes the cultivation and sale of hemp across the United States. It removes hemp from the list of controlled substances, distinguishing it from marijuana, and establishes a regulatory framework overseen by the USDA. This act allows farmers to grow hemp legally, provided it contains less than 0.3% THC (the psychoactive compound). It also promotes industrial use of hemp, including for textiles, foods, and other products, fostering economic growth and clarity for farmers and businesses involved in hemp farming and manufacturing.
