5. Today, the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 was signed into
law. Among other things, this new law changes certain federal
authorities relating to the production and marketing of hemp,
defined as cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.), and derivatives of
cannabis with extremely low (less than 0.3 percent on a dry weight
basis) concentrations of the psychoactive compound delta-9-
tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). These changes include removing
hemp from the Controlled Substances Act, which means that it
will no longer be an illegal substance under federal law.
