Initial Tests Find Lots of Arizona Hemp ‘Hot’

When the 2018 Farm Bill legalized industrial hemp, it had only two conditions; first, farmers had to grow the plants under approved state or tribal programs, and two, the hemp had to have less than 0.3% THC. THC, or delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol, is one of the cannabinoids produced by cannabis, and it's what gives marijuana its psychoactive kick. The U.S. Department of Agriculture furthered this stipulation with its interim final rule, terming hemp that's exceeded the THC limit as 'hot'. This has been a subject of intense contention among growers and other interested parties. Some argue that with the current genetics,…

Oregon State University Gets Federal Grant to Conduct Hemp Research

Despite being just a year old, the industrial hemp sector is rapidly gaining ground. The cash crop had been outlawed for decades before the 2018 Farm Bill removed it from the list of controlled substances. Under the legislation, farmers should grow and sell industrial hemp under state and tribal programs provided the crop had less than 0.3% THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol). THC is the chemical responsible for the psychoactive high marijuana is famous for, and for hemp to be considered legal, it has to have minuscule levels of THC. Although the sector is booming, with experts saying it will be worth…

Idaho Legislature to Consider Another Hemp Legalization Bill This Year

Hemp is finally starting to shake off the effects of decades of prohibition, and more and more states and territories are working on measures to legalize the crop. Some states like Idaho that have had a negative reception towards cannabis legalization might join the ranks of states that allow cannabis use within their borders. The measure by Rep. Dorothy Moon will be her fourth effort after the first three failed in the state legislature. First off, let's make the distinction between hemp and marijuana. Both are varieties of cannabis, but what differentiates them is their THC levels. THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol)…

5 Problems Farmers Identify in the USDA Hemp Rules

The 2018 Farm Bill was instrumental in pushing the hemp industry from restriction to one worth billions of dollars. The legislation legalized the cultivation and sale of industrial hemp, classifying hemp as cannabis with less than 0.3% THC content. On condition that farmers grew the crop under state and tribal programs, and they adhered to the rule on THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol), they were free to farm hemp. A few months later, there was a raving hemp Industry, but since there were hardly any regulations, players in the sector, especially farmers, were denied essential services like insurance and banking.

University of Wisconsin Starts Hemp Research

The 2018 Farm Bill was a game-changer for the country's agricultural sector. Tucked away among the pages of the bill was the Hemp Farming Act, legislation that classified cannabis with less than 0.3% THC levels as industrial hemp. The bill gave farmers in all states and tribes the green light to grow hemp under state and tribal programs, and grow they did. Hemp is insanely versatile, some say with more than 2,000 uses. Apart from its industrial uses such as making bioplastics and fabrics, hemp is quite known for the cannabinoids it produces. The most known ones are THC (delta-9…

Oregon Hosts Hemp Researchers from China

There's a cannabis revolution going on, and cannabidiol (CBD) is at the helm. For the past few years, cannabis has been gaining popularity, not as a recreational drug, but as a medicine. The 2018 Farm Bill began the revolution, classifying hemp with less than 0.3% THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol) as hemp. THC is the compound responsible for cannabis' psychoactive high. Industrial hemp and all its extracts became fair game, legal to plant, market and sell. In the year since industrial hemp and all its extracts became legal, the market for CBD has grown to insane proportions, and it's expected to hit…

Texas Company Plans to Establish the Largest US Hemp Processing Facility

Hemp has had an unfortunate history. For years, it was classified as a Class 1 Controlled substance, and it was illegal to grow, market or sell cannabis or cannabis-derived products. This was a severe setback, hindering research into the plant's abilities and applications. The 2018 Farm Bill changed all that, classifying cannabis with less than 0.3% THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol), the compound that gives users a psychoactive high, as legal industrial hemp. Farmers in all states and tribes were given the green light to farm industrial hemp under State and Tribal programs. A year later, the hemp industry is going strong,…
