Cannabis & Hemp Research

The Controlled Substances Act criminalizes the possession, growing and use of Cannabis sativa without registration with the Drug Enforcement Administration for a schedule 1 controlled substance. Until the passage of the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 (Farm Bill), high THC cannabis and low THC cannabis aka hemp were both classified as a schedule 1 drug “marijuana.” While the Farm Bill did remove hemp, which is cannabis having a THC level no higher than 0.3%, from Schedule 1, hemp continues to be subject to signification controls and restrictions.
