With over $452 million in estimated U.S. retail sales, American companies making hemp products have no choice but to import their raw materials because American farmers continue to fear they will be prosecuted and their farms forfeited due to an outdated federal policy which confuses non-drug industrial hemp with drug varieties of Cannabis. Industrial hemp does not meet any of the criteria to be scheduled at all in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). The President can change federal policy on industrial hemp to reflect today's reality and ensure a better tomorrow for America's families and farmers, the economy, and our planet. |
