The shortest way to tell people about hemp is to say that it's misclassified as a Schedule 1 drug in the Controlled Substances Act as it doesn't meet any of the tests to be scheduled at all. The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937, which was the first federal control of hemp, allowed for the registration of hemp farmers and processors through the Treasury Department, but the last commercial crop was grown in Wisconsin in 1957. So, when the Marihuana Tax Act was found unconstitutional in 1969 by the Supreme Court and replaced by the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) of 1970 there were no hemp farmers or processors to ask that they still be able to register to grow and process the crop as they had always done. That's how we ended up where we are now. S. 359 and H.R. 525 could fix that, so could the President and Attorney General by removing hemp from the schedules in the CSA altogether.
