Hemp industry faces uncertainty amid Senate and House divide over loophole

The Senate has stripped the language that would close the cannabis gap from the draft agricultural credits law, but with the House of Representatives, the cannabis industry is still in weeds.

“The draft law that we are discussing today is really designed to prohibit industry. It gives us a year in theory to continue to do what we do … but this is a draft law designed not to regulate this industry, but only only prohibits it,” said Carolinda’s founder, Chris Carrazen.

If closed, the vulnerability will change how to allow cannabis companies to work. In 2018, Senator Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. , On a loophole in the farm bill that allowed the production of hemp products with a psychological effect by legalizing hemp planting at less than 0.3 % Delta-9 Thc based on dry weight. However, McConnell seemed to switch his position, and is looking to close the vulnerability that was created.

Karazine said that the vast majority of cannabis companies would have to close their doors if the legislation passes.

“This is a draft law that creates another ban era,” Carrazen warned.

Senator Rand Paul, RK, seemed to be consistent with the evaluation of Karzin, as his reaction against his colleague in Sinator Kentucky led to the exit of the language from the Senate Bill. When Senators went face to face, it was reported that Paul threatened to completely ban the bill, according to Politico.

“We have cannabis farmers in my state, and this language will destroy them, but we want this terrible language,” Paul told Politico on July 28.

It was reported that McConnell implicitly in private talks that he believes that he closes the cannabis vulnerability as a major part of the legacy of agricultural policy he wants to leave when he retires next year, Politico said.

HR 4121, the draft law of the House of Representatives still says that the law can be used to “prohibit the transfer, processing, sale, or use of hemp, or the seeds of this factory, which is grown or established according to Article 7606 of the 2014 Agricultural Law or its translation in or outside the Agricultural Marketing Law.

However, Karazin Fox Business told the cannabis owners do not give up.

“We are already making phone calls, we are talking to each other, and we are talking to local legislators and members of the Senate,” Karazine said. “We’ll only do everything we can.”
