Another victory for the humble cannabis plant!
Washington’s State Senate has approved legislation that would allow the unlicensed cultivation of hemp. The bill passed unanimously. The bill also directs the Washington State University to study how to most effectively produce industrial hemp. The state will receive a report on the matter by January 14th, 2016.
The text of Senate Bill 5012 allows hemp to become an “agricultural product that may be grown, produced, processed and commercially traded in the state,” which is a sharp deviation from the laws most states have about the planet. This growth can be unlicensed, though the hemp must contain no more than 0.3% THC.
