Trump Just Ended Hemp Prohibition Across America, Legalizing Industrial Hemp Farming Nationwide

Making America Great Again by unleashing the power of agricultural freedom and natural health

Achieving another breathtaking win for the American people while fighting against a criminal, corrupt establishment, President Donald J. Trump just legalized industrial hemp nationwide by signing the new Farm Bill into law. The hemp legalization provision was spearheaded by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), further demonstrating that Republicans support hemp legalization and agricultural freedom.

After nearly 50 years of prohibition, industrial hemp will be legal to grow across America beginning January 1, 2019. It’s another huge victory that helps Make America Great Again by unleashing the power of agricultural freedom and natural health.

“This law marks the first change in the federal classification of the cannabis plant since it was initially classified as a schedule I controlled substance by Congress in 1970, and paves the way for the first federally-sanctioned commercial hemp grows since World War II,” said NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano. NORML also adds:

The hemp-specific provisions of the 2018 Act amend the federal Controlled Substances Act of 1970 so that hemp plants containing no more than 0.3 percent THC are no longer classified as a schedule I controlled substance under federal law.

“Although hemp will no longer be in the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice, prospective growers will have to submit cultivation plans to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), either through the state government or the USDA itself,” reports Marijuana Moment.

I wonder if this affects the company in Showell that Jim Mathias was successful in getting a growing permit for? The same goes for the Harrison guy who goes to trial Jan 10th for doing something that is no longer illegal.

Uh...there's a big difference between hemp and marijuana 8:57. Educate yourself please. Actually there never should have been a moratorium on either.

Are you suggesting that the People don’t need for government to tell them what they can and cannot possess?

Sounds a lot like freedom.
