4/18/16 Group Watch: Industrial Hemp Research Coming?
A bill regarding industrial hemp passed both the House and Senate last week and could open the door for the state to capitalize on the economic potential of the non-intoxicating type of cannabis plant. The bill passed both the House and the Senate almost unanimously and will allow for research into the uses of industrial hemp and the regulation of it if the bill is signed into law. To make it to the governor’s desk, it must first go through conferencing to reconcile the House and Senate versions.
