It’s 2024. The U.S. House and Senate agriculture committees should have drafted a new federal Farm Bill, but the Senate voted to pass an extension of the 2018 Farm Bill. The bill extends the new farm bill through September 20242.

The upcoming bill will impact food, farm, conservation, and nutrition programs for the next five years. This omnibus law now reaches far beyond crop support and has programs addressing wildlife habitat, climate change, while running the nation’s largest federal nutrition program.

Former Sen. Saxby Chambliss, who worked on the last farm bill, mentioned that these bills affect food prices, availability, global trade, and renewable fuels. The current farm bill WILL expire in September 2024, so lawmakers and advocacy groups are already preparing for the new bill. We sincerely hope the extra time will allow for them to include hot topics from coast to coast.

The Updated 2024 Farm Bill has several policy priorities. Some of these priorities include increasing baseline for farm bill program spending, maintaining a unified farm bill which keeps nutrition programs and farm programs together, prioritizing risk management tools and funding for both federal crop insurance and commodity programs, and ensuring adequate USDA staffing capacity and technical assistance.

From healing ointments to calming supplements. The cannabis industry is flourishing.

What does the farm bill say about h**p?
The 2018 Farm Bill significantly changed the legal landscape for h**p in the United States. It removed it from the list of controlled substances and categorized it as an agricultural commodity. This allowed for the cultivation, production, and sale of h**p and h**p-derived products, including CBD, under specific regulations. Since then, the h**p industry has flourished all over the country. The production of h**p-derived CBD became legal at the federal level, as long as it contains no more than 0.3% THC. However, individual states have the authority to regulate or ban CBD within their borders. It is safe for us to presume that the 2024 Farm Bill may include legislation about h**p as there are issues that need to be resolved in order to improve the sector. One of these issues is the FDA’s position on CBD. Lawmakers, stakeholders, and witnesses have highlighted reforms they aim to include in the 2024 Farm Bill in order to reshape and improve the h**p industry.

What will the 2024 Farm Bill say about Ma*****na?
The 2024 Farm Bill is very likely to include several provisions that relate to h**p and cannabinoids. The current dividing line between h**p and ma*****na is 0.3% THC. The 2024 Farm Bill may increase the allowable THC amount to 1%1. Lawmakers, stakeholders, and witnesses have highlighted reforms they aim to include in the 2023 Farm Bill in order to reshape and improve the h**p industry2. The bill could change the game for THC products3.

In conclusion, the 2024 Farm Bill is still being drafted, and its impact on h**p, CBD, and ma*****na remains to be seen.

Why is h**p legal and not ma*****na?
H**p and ma*****na both come from the Cannabis sativa plant, but they have distinct differences. H**p contains less than 0.3% THC, the psychoactive compound responsible for the “high” associated with ma*****na. Because of its low THC content, h**p is considered non-intoxicating and has been legalized for agricultural and industrial purposes.

What is the difference between H**p Farms and Ma*****na Farms?
H**p farms cultivate Cannabis sativa plants containing less than 0.3% THC for industrial and agricultural purposes, such as producing fiber, oil, and CBD. Ma*****na farms grow Cannabis sativa plants with higher THC content for recreational or medicinal use.

What is the USDA’s final rule for h**p production?
The USDA’s final rule for h**p production, published on January 19, 2021, establishes a regulatory framework for h**p cultivation, including licensing, testing, disposal of non-compliant plants, and recordkeeping requirements.
