Marijuana, both medical and adult use, is becoming more mainstream in the United States as it continues to be legalized at the state level and emerge as a driving economic force. But what do you know about hemp?
Both from the cannabis plant, marijuana and hemp are drastically different in terms of uses, legal status/regulation and even economic potential. Marijuana sales are predicted to hit $50 billion in the US by 2017, but, with hundreds of uses, industrial hemp could easily dwarf those numbers. This webinar will provide an overview of the differences between marijuana and hemp, a look at what's legal where and the federal government's role in regulation, and a review of the recent legal history behind regulating hemp in the United States.
