IT'S NOT A LOOPHOLE: Hemp industry is not nefariously operating

This summer, Congress (spearheaded by Mitch McConnell) was going after the 2018 Farm Bill "loophole."

Right before the August break, Senate leaders laid down the proposed language from the Agriculture–FDA spending bill that would have banned hemp‑derived THC products.

This change was largely driven by Sen. Rand Paul (R‑KY), who threatened to block the entire bill unless the ban was removed. Senate leadership ultimately relented to allow passage of the $27B bill.

There is all that news... but when I recorded this video (and still to this day), I think it is important to speak up about this whole "loophole" language being thrown around.

I am here to tell you IT IS NOT A LOOPHOLE. The rhetoric that the Hemp Industry is operating in some loophole, with nefarious intentions, is unfair and inaccurate. And you don't have to take my word for it... there are others saying the same thing. Let's dive in.

💬 WHY DOES THIS CHANNEL SOMETIMES USE THE WORD “MARIJUANA”?

You may hear the term “marijuana” used in some of my videos. While I personally believe the word is outdated, unscientific, and rooted in racially charged propaganda, it still appears in federal and state law — which makes it necessary in legal conversations.

As an attorney, I use the language defined by law when discussing federally illegal substances. There is currently no federal legal definition for "cannabis"... but there is for “hemp” and “marijuana," so clarity matters. When referring to THC content and legal classifications, that’s when you’ll hear the word used. But make no mistake: in my eyes, it’s all cannabis.
