Technical hemp until the middle of the last century was one of the dominant culture in the United States. The Declaration of Independence was drafted on hemp paper, the best, the most ancient examples of the Bible were made on the basis of hemp. Malonarkoticheskaya cannabis in modern production is used to make fabrics, food, for fuel, the basis for the production of bioplastics, construction and insulating materials and paper, as well as for the production of parts in the automotive industry.
Everything changed in 1937 when a law was passed on the tax on marijuana. As part of it, any psychoactive drug cannabis recognized, even if it did not contain a sufficient amount of controlled tetrahydrocannabinol. In connection with the adoption of the aforementioned legal act, any cultivation of hemp in the United States is economically not viable. A total ban on the cultivation of cannabis was imposed in 1970, in connection with the adoption of the relevant legal act, according to which the hemp, along with heroin and LSD were included in the list of particularly dangerous psychotropic substances prohibited for circulation.

The bill regulates the change of the legal framework related to konoplevodstvom in the United States entered into force in 2014. It is allowed to explore the technical hemp scientific and educational structures in order to further cultivate it in states where cannabis malonarkoticheskuyu currently allowed to cultivate.

Pennsylvania will soon become another state, which will be part of a new, clean, green agricultural revolution, based on the cultivation of economically viable products derived from hemp. As in the past century, hemp in the next decade will be able to achieve the level of profitability in the billions of dollars. C ode side malonarkoticheskoy permit hemp cultivation in the United States is extremely beneficial for the country step, on the other legalization of the use of psychoactive cannabis it is extremely advantageous in economic terms. Kannaindustrii turnover may reach $ 22 billion by 2020.

Canada earns billions of dollars each year in the production and sales of hemp raw materials and finished products. US analysts say that in 2015 the volume of hemp US market reached $ 580 million. And this despite the fact that all the raw materials used for production of food, textile and knitted products imported from Canada, Europe or China.
Comment of the Association "Ukrainian industrial hemp"
Despite the changes in the federal US policy, American farmers still can not legally malonarkoticheskuyu cultivate cannabis in the country. Konoplevodstvo still considered illegal activities, so farmers still can not officially industrial crops cultivate industrial hemp. Beznarkoticheskaya hemp is still considered psychotropic substances banned in the United States and livestock producers must obtain permission from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), regardless of whether the entrepreneur has a resolution of their own state in the cultivation of cannabis malonarkoticheskoy or not. In 2014, representatives of the DEA arrested in Kentucky hemp seed malonarkoticheskoy, imported from Italy, which was intended for research.
