In Episode 2, "Where are we going? - Navigating the Future of Hemp," we explore the hemp industry's future. We discuss the Miller Amendment's impact on farmers, the Farm Bill's support for hemp, and the consumer market's growth. The debate on state vs. federal regulation and the industry's feedback on the Mary Miller Amendment highlight challenges and the need for better education.

We examine federal policy support, the potential rescheduling of marijuana, and state-by-state regulatory tensions. The episode also covers the impact of DeSantis' veto, the concept of regulated cannabis markets, and the emergence of new sectors like beverages. Join us as we navigate the evolving landscape of hemp.
