WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) continued his efforts to address Kentucky hemp farmers’ concerns with federal overreach and bring clarity, transparency, and certainty to regulation by introducing the Hemp Economic Mobilization Plan (HEMP) Act of 2020.
In response to concerns raised by Kentucky hemp farmers and processors, Dr. Paul’s HEMP Act would change the legal definition of hemp to raise the THC limit from 0.3% to 1%. Currently, any hemp crops testing above 0.3% have to be destroyed.
My partner and CEO was on the call. KYHFA and it’s president, Martin Smith, are trying their best and making things happen. Martin has been tirelessly advocating for the hemp industry for more than a decade. Shout out to VP @MinkLoafs, too.
The Paul’s are Gs. They’re the only politicians, I know of, that I have respect for. If we could get more people like them in office, I’d feel a lot better about where our country’s headed.
