CBD Farmer & Hemp Builder React to New Federal Hemp Definition
Description
Congress changed the definition of hemp this week, clarifying the original intent of the 2018 Farm Bill and closing the intoxicating-hemp loophole that enabled a nationwide market of unregulated semi-synthetic THC products.
The change caps finished hemp products at 0.4 mg total THC per package, bans synthetic cannabinoids, protects legal CBD and fiber/grain hemp, and gives farmers a one-year implementation window.
What does this mean for the hemp industry? How will it affect farmers? How will affect the hemp industry?
On this special episode of The Lancaster Farming Industrial Hemp Podcast, CBD farmer Ben Davies of Wild Fox Provisions and hemp builder Cameron McIntosh of Americhanvre Cast Hemp break down the biggest hemp policy shift since the 2018 Farm Bill.
Recorded the day the new legislation was signed into law, this episode captures reactions in real time from two people living the consequences from opposite sides of the plant.
