Legalese

The Hemp Farming Act of 2018 was a proposed law to remove hemp (defined as cannabis with less than 0.3% THC) from Schedule I controlled substances and making it an ordinary agricultural commodity. Its provisions were incorporated in the 2018 United States farm bill that became law on December 20, 2018. 

In late March 2018, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced he would introduce legislation legalizing hemp production in his state, Kentucky, and nationally.[1][2][3] McConnell introduced the bill, S.2667, on the Senate floor on April 12, 2018, co-sponsored by Oregon senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley.[4][5] McConnell announced that Representative James Comer of Kentucky would introduce a companion bill in the House of Representatives.[6] The companion bill, H.R. 5485, was introduced on April 12, with Colorado Representative Jared Polis co-sponsoring.[7] 

In addition to removing low-THC cannabis from regulation under the Controlled Substances Act,  the 2018 act would avail hemp farmers of water rights and federal  agricultural grants, and make the national banking system (in a gray  area for the  cannabis industry[a])  accessible to farmers and others involved; and allow for other benefits  of production of a recognized crop such as marketing, agronomy  research, and crop insurance.

LEGAL NOTICE: These products contain hemp that was cultivated pursuant to a  license issued by the Department of Agriculture. Though hemp may  look like marijuana, it is legally distinct. Both the terms “marijuana”  and “hemp” describe the cannabis plant. Marijuana is classified as a  Schedule 3 substance under the Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”). 21USC § 801et seq.

In turn, the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (the “2018 Farm Bill”) defines hemp as follows:

The term ‘hemp’ means the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of  that plant, including the seeds thereof and all derivatives, extracts,  cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, whether  growing or not, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not  more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis.

2018 Farm Bill, Section 297A. The 2018 Farm Bill amends the CSA’s definition of marijuana to exclude hemp.Id. at Section 12619. The 2018 Farm Bill also prohibits states or Indian  tribes from prohibiting the interstate transport or delivery of hemp. Id. Section 10114.
