Earlier this year, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) released an interim final rule that the agency says will bring the Controlled Substance Act in line with the 2018 Farm Bill, which opened the door for the production of hemp.
The proposed final rule classifies any Cannabis sativa L. material with Delta-9-THC content greater than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis as “marihuana,” a schedule I controlled substance. Hemp is classified as Cannabis sativa L. with Delta-9-THC content of 0.3 percent or less.
