The farm bill is a monster. We should never be allowed to throw as much crap in one bill as we find in this one. It is over 800 pages.

Of interest to me, it legalizes hemp derived from cannabis sativa l.

I will post more on this later.

It is an omnibus. It covers dozens of subjects. The cannabis summary is two pages.

Hemp is a wonderful crop, and should've never been made illegal to begin with. It is not useful as an intoxicant, but is very useful for a million other products.

Grew wild in Nebraska. Folks from out east would get caught harvesting it to cut pot.

Yep, it was called "ditch weed", and anyone who smoked it could only get a placebo effect. It simply doesn't have enough THC to get you high.

Very true. I would like to be able to buy hemp rope easily at some point in time.

We don't need A farm bill we need several focusing on specific issues. Hemp should have been legalized long ago.

I know someone out here in the desert with a lot of land who's really happy about this.

Revenues from growing hemp are... huge

Yea, when it comes time to start hanging some people, hemp can't be beat.

It use to be legal. It was a required crop. 90% was used with Ships. Canvas, rigging and nets.

So, what happens when farmers start tooling their equipment and cultivating their land to grow hemp, then later the government makes it illegal again? Kinda like they did with bump stocks.
