Industrial Hemp Farming Act

The Industrial Hemp Farming Act is legislation that aims to legalize the cultivation of industrial hemp— a variety of the cannabis plant with minimal THC, the compound that causes a "high." The act seeks to remove hemp from the list of controlled substances, making it easier for farmers to grow and sell hemp for uses like textiles, food, and building materials. It addresses previous legal restrictions, promoting economic growth and innovation in hemp-related industries by establishing clear regulations and standards for farming and processing.
