On this first episode of Unpartisan: taking politics out of policy, we shine a bright spotlight on the policies that govern CBD and hemp products. We speak with Courtney Moran - the woman who helped draft the language for the 2018 Hemp Farming Act which was incorporated into the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (AKA: the 2018 Farm Bill) that passed congress and was signed into law in December of 2018. We also get real stories of people in the industry and on the ground in the CBD world who have been affected by the ambiguity in the laws. And, we speak with Martin Lee, Director of Project CBD to find out what this stuff is all about! Your host walks you through all of the intricacies of hemp policy relating to CBD and helps you understand the mechanisms behind the scenes in a fun and engaging way!
