legalizing Industrial Hemp

Created by S.R. on August 29, 2013

"industrial hemp" that were bred over time for industrial uses such as fuel, fiber, paper, seed, food, oil, etc. marijuana has a potency range of 3% to 20% by dry weight of THC, industrial hemp is generally defined as having less than 1.0% THC, and the normal range is under 0.5%. These THC levels are so low that no one could get high from smoking it. To receive a standard psychoactive dose would require a person to power-smoke 10-12 hemp cigarettes over an extremely short period of time.(NCSL) recently adopted a resolution strongly urging the (USDA), the (DEA) and (ONDCP) to collaboratively develop and adopt an official definition of industrial hemp.
