Mitch McConnell will introduce a bill to allow states to regulate their HEMP industries.

Go figure? Cannabis is essentially the same thing. So introduce a bill to allow states to regulate their own Cannabis industries.

Here is a link to last year's hemp bill https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-...bill/3530/text
They're saying this year's is similar, they're also saying maybe it's all just for show because this is an election year. Anyway last year's had this language in it

Section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802) is amended—

(1) in paragraph (16)—

(A) by striking “(16) The” and inserting “(16)(A) The”; and

(B) by adding at the end the following:


“(B) The term ‘marihuana’ does not include industrial hemp or research hemp.”; and

(2) by adding at the end the following:

“(57) The term ‘industrial hemp’ means the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part or derivative of such plant (including viable seeds), whether growing or not—

“(A) no part of which has a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis;

and that sounds relatively friendly, might even allow the possibility of high thc "research hemp", but last years bill didn't move much and there not much has changed since then. Maybe it was something the genuinely wanted to change last year and just didn't get around to it, seems doubtful.
