🌿 2018 Farm Bill: Legalizing Hemp in America
🏛️ A New Era for Hemp
The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 — better known as the 2018 Farm Bill — changed the game for the cannabis industry.
For the first time in nearly 80 years, hemp (a variety of Cannabis sativa L. containing less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC) was removed from the Controlled Substances Act and classified as an agricultural commodity.
That single change unlocked a national hemp economy — allowing farmers, processors, and retailers to legally grow, transport, and sell hemp-derived products across the United States.
🌱 What the Law Says
Under the 2018 Farm Bill:
- ✅ Hemp is federally legal so long as it contains ≤ 0.3% Delta-9 THC on a dry-weight basis.
- 🧑🌾 Farmers can grow hemp under approved state, tribal, or federal plans.
- 🧪 All hemp crops must be tested for THC content before harvest.
- 🚛 Interstate transport is protected — states cannot block the shipment of legally produced hemp.
- 🧾 States and tribes may impose stricter rules if they choose.
- ❌ Crops over 0.3% THC are considered non-compliant and must be remediated or destroyed.
🔍 What the Farm Bill Didn’t Change
- The law did not legalize marijuana (THC-rich cannabis remains federally illegal).
- The FDA still regulates hemp-derived ingestibles and topicals (CBD, edibles, supplements, etc.).
- Each state maintains its own licensing and testing requirements, so rules may differ depending on where you live.
