USDA OKs hemp plans for Louisiana, Ohio, New Jersey
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has approved industrial hemp licensing plans for Louisiana, Ohio and New Jersey, the department announced Friday. The states are the first to get such approval, though 34 other states have hemp research or pilot projects under a 2014 law.
“This is exciting,” said Eric Steenstra, spokesman for the nonprofit hemp advocacy group Vote Hemp.

Hemp is an interesting plant. Cannabis sativa (same as pot) but with a very low level of the psychoactive ingredient THC.
