Federal legislation to legalize industrial hemp has been introduced by a bipartisan group of senators.
The Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2015 would legalize industrial hemp for commercial use by removing industrial hemp from the definition of marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act.
“Industrial hemp is a safe substance with many practical commercial applications,” said U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo. “Removing it from the Controlled Substances Act is a common sense move which would create jobs and get the government out of the way of farmers and our agricultural industry.”
The act was introduced by Sens. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Rand Paul, R-Ky.
