After decades of petitioning and campaigning, advocates of industrial hemp saw a significant victory in the US with the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, which among many other things, legalized cannabis with a non-active Delta-9 THC concentration of 0.03 percent.

There are many practical and commercial uses of hemp, such as food, fuel fiber, and cannabinoid extraction. American farmers were missing out on profiting on the green cash crop thanks to the prohibition of the cannabis plant, irrespective of use or cannabinoid concentration under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. Proponents of hemp promised that low-THC strains of cannabis couldn’t be grown for use as a psychoactive substance, winning over the no-funs afraid someone might get the giggles or perhaps lost in ancient alien conspiracy theories.
