The new rules being issued by USDA this fall should clarify the (current) problems of interstate shipping/commerce. Part of the glitch in the 2019 crop is still operating under the 2014 law which had no embedded safeguards for transportation. We were lucky enough in the 2014-1018 time frame that as each Continuing Resolution for the budget was passed there were riders protecting that movement. So now we're in 2019, under an old law that doesn't contain the provision, and a 2018 law that isn't fully implemented. It is a glitch but one that will soon be remedied. Oklahoma and Idaho seem to be the biggest problems right now.

It's a global standard set long ago and while they had some weak justification for it, I'd argue its more 'arbitrary'. I believe over time, as politicians, bureaucrats and law enforcement get comfortable with the crop with its new designation (agricultural) we can have a more science-based, grown-up conversation about limits.

It’s an extraction from one of the oldest plants known to mankind. I consider it a supplement necessary for our well-being (nourishing our endocannabinoid system)

The 2014 bill (which I authored) achieved its intended goal of opening the door and demonstrating all this plant is capable of giving us. Generally speaking I think it's had a positive effect on the global conversations around the cannabis plant.

Yes I am. I believe we can reclaim leadership in the global natural fibers and industry right here in the US. Consumer markets are demanding just this kind of product!
