FIVE QUESTIONS
about being accused of engaging in
controlled substances.
How likely is a new Farm Bill
to pass this year?
A lot of discussion is about two
battles going on, particularly when
it comes to the (Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program) that
used to be called food stamps.
It's less a battle between Democrats
and Republicans and more a battle
within the Republican Party. Folks in
the Freedom Caucus and the right
wing of the party are still upset about
the debt-ceiling deal and might use
this as a way to try to get more.
So, it's a real challenge for House
Republican leadership to be able to
deliver something that will meet
the needs of both the far-right
wing as well as Democrats.
Who are the Congressional
changemakers for hemp?
As always, (Senate Minority Leader)
Mitch McConnell is one of-if not
the leading-player when it comes
to hemp, so we will be watching
closely with what he does.
Jamie Comer, who is the House
Oversight Committee chair, has
announced that he's going to have
hearings on hemp and CBD.
The other real players are going
be the leaders of those committees:
the chair of House Energy and
Commerce Committee, Cathy
McMorris Rodgers, will have a lot
of say. And Glenn " GT " Thompson,
the chair of House Agriculture
Committee, will.
And then on the Senate side,
you've got Debbie Stabenow, who
chairs the Senate Committee on
Agriculture (Nutrition and Forestry),
and Bernie Sanders, who chairs the
Senate Health, (Education, Labor
and Pensions) Committee, so they
will have a lot of inputs.
Of course, (U.S. Senate Majority
Leader) Chuck Schumer undoubtedly
will play a major role as well.
What should marijuana execs
know about the Farm Bill?
A lot of marijuana industry folks
are closely watching the Farm
Bill to see what Congress does
with CBD and nonintoxicating
cannabinoids because it could
prove a model for what (Congress)
will do when marijuana is finally
legalized.
A lot of marijuana folks are going
to want to watch this model and
see how it develops.
