The 2018 Farm Bill, or Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, reauthorized U.S. Department of Agriculture programs and was signed into law on Dec. 20, 2018. A key provision was the legalization of hemp  by removing it from the Controlled Substances Act and defining it as a cannabis plant with less than 0.3 percent delta-9 THC. The bill also provided funding for conservation, supported farmers with credit and crop insurance, and addressed rural broadband and other agricultural policies through 2023.

Hemp is cannabis. The difference is genetics and how it’s grown: tall and dense, similar to a field crop, for fiber and stalks rather than grown wider and spaced apart to produce more flowers and resin.
