The 2018 farm bill removed hemp from the controlled substances act, and established that henceforth, hemp is to be treated like any other agricultural commodity, traded freely in interstate commerce to be used as a raw material to make a wide range of products.

There can no longer be any question that smoking hemp flower is hugely popular. Join entraupanaure Mari C. Oxenberg to discuss the future of smokable CBD hemp in the United States, and what to expect from the rapidly growing market segment..
