Looks like the new farm bill allows the growing of hemp

At the cusp of an impending Hemp renaissance, the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 effectively made the cultivation of hemp illegal. This was due largely to the efforts of the following businessmen/entities:

Andrew Mellon: As chairman of the Mellon Bank he was Dupont's primary investor and treasurer (1921-1932). He was also responsible for the appointment, in 1930, of his future nephew-in-law, Harry J. Anslinger, as head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (FBN).

William Randolph Hearst: Competition from hemp was a threat to Hearst's paper-manufacturing company and he believed Allan E. Levine Photographythat hemp's renaissance would also significantly lower the value of his land, enormous timber acreage in both California and Mexico and best suited for conventional pulp. He used his publishing empire (28 newspapers in 18 key American cities with an estimated 20 million readers) to run stories claiming that marijuana was responsible for everything from murder to loose morality.

The DuPont family: In 1935, two years before the prohibitive hemp tax act, DuPont developed a new synthetic fiber (nylon) a direct competitor to hemp in the textile and cordage industries. DuPont was also in the process of patenting a new sulfuric acid process for producing wood-pulp paper. According to the company's own records, wood-pulp products accounted for more than 80% of all DuPont's railroad car loadings for the next 50 years.

For their billion dollar dynasties to remain intact, these unconscionable tycoons decided that hemp had to go. Taking an obscure Mexican slang word, “marihuana,” they vehemently tarnished the good image and phenomenal history of one of God's most loving gifts to humanity. Undoubtably, one of their most effective tools was the use of Goebel-esque cinematography. Films like ‘Marihuana: Assassin of Youth’ (1935), ‘Marihuana The Devil’s Weed’ (1936), and ‘Reefer Madness’ (1936). These clever industrialists were able to swoon an unsuspecting American public into helping them completely kill off the competition.

"Marihuana makes fiends of boys in thirty days : Hashish goads users to bloodlust."

— Hearst newspapers, nationwide, circa 1936.

Hearst's company slogan was: Truth, Justice, and Public Service!

Let's put our foolish reefer-madness behind us; let's make commercial hemp, once again, the greatest economic engine of the human race!

Oh wow! How gracious of our overlords to finally allow us to grow a plant we have lived alongside for millions of years! After all this time!

I'm in a fuckit mood today. Fuck this system of control, I want to see it burn down. We should be turning the planet into a gigantic garden and preserving all species of life. Instead we are fucking it up, so I say: let the system that is destroying the world fucking DIE already!

This would be a game changer. The economy would boom.

President Trump passed this law some time ago. There is a Hemp production farm as far as the eye can see that has been preparing for two years now, land clearing, leveling fencing etc. near me. It's been legal for some time now. I buy a lot of Hemp products for health.

They found a version of thc that you can breed hemp to produce. Delta 8 thc.
