Spring, a time of growth and change, has brought dynamic progress to the U.S. hemp industry this April.
Senate Bill 2667: The Hemp Farming Act of 2108
The Hemp Farming Act of 2018, introduced in the United States Senate earlier this month, is actually quite a simple bill, but it would do so much for the industry. As discussed, the legal landscape for hemp and CBD is evolving as states navigate their laws within federal regulations. At Green Wellness Life, all of Spring, a time of growth and change, has brought dynamic progress to the U.S. hemp industry this April. our products are federally legal because they are sourced in a very specific way, so you can have confidence in the products you’re using and consuming. However, this legal quagmire has significantly restricted the national economy’s ability to fully benefit from hemp cultivation.
Senate Bill 2667, if it becomes law, would remove industrial hemp from the controlled substances list entirely. The bill would allow commercial hemp cultivation nationwide, not just limited sourcing. Its bipartisan support highlights broad recognition of hemp’s health and economic benefits.
FDA Advisory Committee Approval of Epidiolex
This April, an FDA committee unanimously recommended approval of the very first CBD product for the treatment of epilepsy. GW Pharmaceuticals produced Epidiolex, which will be available in the U.S. after FDA approval. The Hemp Farming Act of 2018 could enable more American companies to produce and research hemp and CBD products, expanding our understanding of their benefits.
Needless to say it’s an exciting time to be at the forefront of this movement! If you’re passionate about hemp’s benefits, contact your federal legislators. Every voice counts – make yours heard.
