Trump signs farm bill making hemp federally legal

While we’ve been obsessing focusing on the imminent end of the world tRump’s latest pratfalls, somehow this happened:
..hemp advocates celebrated a $867 billion farm bill authorized by President Donald Trump.
The 2018 Farm Bill, a sweeping piece of legislation, bolstered farmers with the passage of The Hemp Farming Act of 2018, bipartisan legislation delisting hemp as a controlled substance..
This is big, Hemp has been delisted at the national level!
"The biggest takeaway is that hemp is now classified as an agricultural commodity," said Blake Butler, Executive Director of the North Carolina Industrial Hemp Association.
I’m just chundered that somehow this huge stumbling block to legalization has passed so deep under the radar.
This is actual good news!
