When congress passed the hemp farming act in 2018, cultivation of hemp and the production and use of hemp and CBD products became legal at a federal level.

The Farm Bill legally identifies hemp as a cannabis plant that contains no more than 0.3% THC (the cannabinoid responsible for making you high), and thereby removed hemp from the controlled substances list. Unfortunately, no, not necessarily.

Some state lawmakers have started getting involved and the new state laws can be pretty confusing, and depending on where you live, smoking hemp could actually be illegal. When the 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp at a federal level, the popularity of hemp products, especially CBD, exploded, but it’s still up to each individual state to determine its public use.

In the case of smokable hemp, it seems that a small handful of states are determined to move against federal law, by doing everything they can to make possessing or smoking hemp illegal, because they don’t like the way it looks. Literally.

What we’re left with (to put it bluntly), is a confusing mess of conflicting hemp laws, that could change again at any moment.
