Week 8 BONUS: Federal and State Hemp Regulations and Markets - Discussion Group B 1

From AGRICULTURAL LAW (AEC_388_400_F2020)

Prompt

Hemp is the biggest new crop hitting the market! The regulations are still in flux even though hemp has been deregulated at the federal level. This is also complicated by the status of marijuana, another cannabis variety. Listen to this recent podcast to learn about the current and future state of regulations and market issues.

Make sure everyone is clear: What is the difference between hemp and marijuana? Scientifically, economically, socially?

Which policy questions do we, as a society, have to answer as hemp (and marijuana) enter markets ? What science, values, and economic/legal questions do we have to address?

Should we have state and/or federal regulations on hemp and/or marijuana production?

What kind of regulations do we have now, and what do you think will change in the future?
