hemp regulation

Hemp regulation involves laws that distinguish hemp from marijuana based on THC content, the psychoactive compound. In many regions, hemp is defined as cannabis containing 0.3% THC or less, allowing for legal cultivation, processing, and sale. Regulations typically require licensing, health and safety standards, and labeling compliance. These laws aim to promote industrial, medicinal, and consumer use of hemp products while preventing illegal drug diversion. Overall, hemp regulations are evolving to balance economic opportunities with public health and safety considerations.
