The Hemp Farming Act

The Hemp Farming Act is legislation that legalizes the cultivation and production of industrial hemp in the United States. It removed hemp from the list of controlled substances, recognizing it as an agricultural crop rather than a drug. This allows farmers to grow hemp for purposes like clothing, food, and CBD products, provided it contains minimal THC, the psychoactive compound. The act helps expand hemp farming opportunities, supports economic growth, and clarifies regulatory standards, promoting responsible and lawful cultivation while distinguishing hemp from marijuana.
