Abstract

"News & Issues" piece on a legislative bill sponsored by Rep. Thomas Bull, (D-Freeport), that would have legalized hemp production for industrial use. The original bill was amended to an authorization for the state Department of Agriculture to pursue a research permit from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency that would allow the University of Maine to grow plots of cannabis to determine its agricultural viability in Maine. The bill passed in the House but was rejected by the Senate.
