Today, the 2018 Farm Bill <\/a>was signed, a revolutionary piece of legislature for multiple industries, but most importantly: the hemp industry. For decades, hemp (and in turn CBD itself) has been listed as a Controlled Substance, putting it alongside marijuana and other intoxicating substances. However, moving forward, hemp will be placed under the supervision of the Department of Agriculture.<\/p>\n

This change will revolutionize the CBD industry, which had been living in a legal gray area for decades. Some regulations were eased with the 2014 Farm Bill<\/a>, but it was still very difficult for CBD companies like us to follow the guidelines, as some were up almost entirely to interpretation.<\/p>\n

With the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp farmers are going to have the ability to participate in USDA programs for certifications for competitive grants, that partnered with a CBD industry that was worth $350 million in 2017<\/a> (even with the regulations), the sky is the limit for hemp!<\/p>\n

The History of Hemp Prohibition<\/h2>\n

The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937<\/a> was one of the first steps that America made in the crackdown on hemp plants. However, even before this was passed, attempts to slow down the hemp industry took place as early as 1906. Back then, hemp was used primarily as a way to make paper.<\/p>\n

The Tax Act of 1937 was eventually overruled by Leary v. United States<\/a> in 1969. This found the previously enacted tax act unconstitutional, after Timothy Leary himself was arrested for possession of marijuana.<\/p>\n

In the next year, the Controlled Substances Act<\/a> was passed, which the new 2018 Farm Bill successfully overrules. This was a replacement for the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 and placed hemp as a controlled substance.<\/p>\n
