I teach substance use counseling in Kentucky and my students are always surprised to find out that KY once was the main supplier of hemp. This is a great article. Unfortunately, hemp does not have the lobbyists or financial backing to push back against the industries opposing it. I don't believe you brought this up, but there is also a racial component to the marijuana scare. But that is a whole other subject for another day perhaps. Thanks for sharing this!
