MC Nutraceuticals: Advocates for Stability in the Hemp Industry

20 state attorneys general (AG) wrote a letter to Congress on March 20, 2024, asking Congress to “address the glaring vagueness created in the 2018 Farm Bill that has led to the proliferation of intoxicating hemp products across the nation and challenges for the ability for states and localities to respond to the resulting health and safety crisis.” 

With the prospect of the 2024 Farm Bill looming these AGs, some republican but mostly democrat, suggest that the 2018 Farm Bill created an industry that remains unregulated and causes nothing but problems. With all due respect to these AGs, their view might be shortsighted at best. The hemp industry that has directly resulted from the 2018 Farm Bill is regulated and has not led to a health and safety crisis.
