Republican lawmakers choose to not fund our Wisconsin Hemp Pilot program a few years back to make it permanent, if they did, the state would have continued to run the program and make the rules. Instead, the program was kicked to the curb and Wisconsin sent the hemp program back to the USDA and federal government to run. Prior to and during this transition, it was made very clear that some politicians thought the federal bill had "loophole" language, while others praised the language as one of the most strategic ways laws/language created to help end the prohibition of cannabis in the United States. Either way, the writing was on the wall to Wisconsin..... make your hemp bill permanent or the federal government will do it for you. Now a few select prohibitionist type Republicans join forces with some freshman Republican to proposed a bill that threatens an entire industry. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/stop-the-attack-on-hemp-cannabis
