Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell, tea party leader Senator Rand Paul, and Democratic Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley introduced S. 359 to allow U.S. farmers to grow industrial hemp. The House version, H.R. 525, was introduced by Republican Thomas Massie.
These bills have broad bipartisan support but need attention to get passed. The White House can provide that.
Hemp was once, and can be again, an important crop for rural and manufacturing economies in the U.S. It is used for paper, textiles, construction material, oil seed, and more. It is currently legal to possess and distribute, but not to grow because it is confused with it's cousin, marijuana. These bills create the legal distinction between the two plants and allow farmers to once again grow hemp.
