hemp legislation

Hemp legislation has evolved to recognize hemp as distinct from marijuana, primarily due to its low THC content (the psychoactive compound). Laws now often allow farmers to cultivate hemp for industrial uses like textiles, food, and CBD products, provided it contains less than 0.3% THC. Regulations vary by country and state, requiring licenses, testing, and compliance with safety standards. These legal updates aim to promote economic growth and innovation while controlling psychoactive use, creating a clear framework for legal hemp cultivation and processing.
