A Brief (And Recent) History Of Hemp: Ashes Ashes, All Fall Down
Over thousands of years, hemp has a purported 50,000+ beneficial uses. Hemp fibers have been found in ancient burial sites, the Founding Fathers grew hemp, and the plant was utilized to pay colonial taxes. It was a global cash crop and domestically Kentucky has a deep and rich history with hemp. It’s no surprise that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a son of the Bluegrass State, was able to steer the federal legalization of hemp in 2014, the most sweeping federal cannabis policy reform in U.S. history. I successfully argued this point in front of the 9th Circuit in 2018. Hemp moves in spooky, mysterious, and unexpected ways.
