ATACH statement on House Agriculture Committee Intoxicating Hemp Vote

An amendment to prohibit intoxicating hemp products passed the House Agriculture Committee today by a voice vote. Below is the ATACH statement

:“ATACH supports the creation of a regulatory framework for cannabis and hemp products through full federal legalization, as well as the ability for states to preserve their own cannabis and hemp programs. It is clear that the intent of the Farm Bill in 2018 was not to legalize synthetic THC in an unregulated fashion. Today’s amendment, which closes the loophole, should be a wake up call. The Farm Bill, which is authorized every five years, is an imperfect vehicle for meaningful legalization and going forward the call must be for sensible regulation.”
