Amid a fight that is spreading to Congress from the 18 states that have legalized hemp production, unlikely partnerships between congressmen have formed in Washington, D.C.
Rep. Earl Blumenauer, a Portland liberal Democrat
who has spent four decades working to change federal drug policy, paired
with Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, among others, to create
a major shift in the federal government’s view of hemp early this year.
The two helped put a provision into the 2014 Farm
Bill that separated marijuana and hemp for research purposes,
effectively creating an outlet states could use to create hemp programs.
