Since the 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp, there are now two distinct commercial industries: pharmaceuticals / wellness and industrial. In the pharmaceutical and consumer wellness areas, there is an explosion of innovation and new products. In the industrial market, there is increasing interest in light of sustainability and carbon capture considerations.
In this session the panelists will discuss international hemp-derived products trade. More specifically, the panelists will offer an overview of what transatlantic trade of hemp-derived products (food products, cosmetic products, vaping products…) for consumer use looks like with a particular focus on import and export of these products from the US market to the EU and/or the UK market(s) and from the EU and/or the UK to the USA.
In this session the panelist will set the stage by discussing the Agricultural Improvement Act, more commonly known as the Farm Bill; specifically, the watershed moment in 2018 where industrial hemp was provided a federally legal pathway. The panel will discuss the unintended consequences created by the definition and function of weight allowance for delta-9 THC and its application to manufactured hemp derived products. The impacts of the definition on the hemp industry, the regulated marijuana industry and overall public health.
