“Farmers in California may finally begin growing industrial hemp under a new law signed Wednesday by Gov. Jerry Brown. Lawmakers have been discussing the proposal since 1999 to allow approved residents to grow hemp for industrial purposes by reclassifying the plant as a fiber or oilseed crop. The law defines the crop as the nonpsychoactive types of the Cannabis sativa plant containing no more than 3/10 of 1 percent of THC, the psychoactive chemical in marijuana. Supporters of the bill say hemp is a $500 million industry in California and is growing by 10 percent annually.”
