Acknowledge the distinction between industrial purpose hemp and marijuana.

Marijuana and hemp are different varieties of the same species of plant, Cannabis sativa L. And while the two varieties of plants are of the same species, they are as genetically separate as two different breeds of dog. Marijuana is categorized as a Schedule I drug primarily for its THC content, which ranges from around 3 to 15 percent. Hemp has a relatively low THC content at less than one percent, and aside from that, only the bast fibers and seeds are useful materials to be harvested from hemp. Hemp should be relieved of Schedule I categorization, thus regulated separately and differently than marijuana to allow for it to be freely used in the production of a variety of products like paper, textiles, clothing, concrete, and bio-fuel.
