One Plant - Innovation of Cannabis and the Future of Use from the Farm Bill to the Pharmacy
Whether viewed as sacred, as relief, as a commodity or as a blight, the cannabis plant may be the most reverently appreciated and simultaneously deeply misunderstood plant in the world. With the stroke of a pen, execution of the 2018 Farm Bill freed hemp for greater use by more people…including those with the skill and resources to convert it to THC. Although the authors of the 2018 Farm Bill likely did not envision unregulated intoxicating hemp products, they are here. Where are we all going, and what are the necessary checks and balances on our way there? This session will explore recently passed legislation in Washington (SB 5367) as well as ongoing conversations regarding the 2023 Farm Bill and potential updates to hemp regulation.
