Congressman LaHood Weighs In On Farm Bill Amendment

An amendment to the 2024 farm bill could prohibit intoxicating hemp products across the nation.

 

The amendment, sponsored by Illinois Republican Congresswoman Mary Miller, would federally criminalize hemp-derived products. While the amendment passed out of the House Committee on Agriculture, Congressman Darin LaHood shared his thoughts.

 

 

Despite passing the House Committee on Agriculture, the farm bill amendment is up for debate on the House floor. If the bill passes the House, it heads to the Senate, where Democrats could vote against the amendment.
