Terminate Lingering Bans on Hemp
The 2018 Farm Bill legalized cultivation, distribution, and consumption of hemp (aka, Cannabis sativa). The Feds have spoken: As of 2018, hemp is as legal as apple pie. Blanket prohibitions on hemp are no longer supported by federal law.
Signatories of this petition call for the immediate termination of all bans on hemp across the USA.

Why is this important?
The 2018 Farm Bill defined hemp as a legal agricultural product. People who maintain irrational "Reefer Madness" grudges against hemp should not be allowed to impede access to hemp. In other words, people who dislike broccoli can't prevent others from eating it. Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp should be no different.
Organizations that maintain antiquated hemp prohibitions, such as Colorado State University-Pueblo*, are not only out of compliance with federal law, but also absurdly impede access to hemp’s myriad health benefits. Anyone who wishes to consume hemp to enhance health and nutrition should not be prevented from doing so.
Therefore, signatories of this petition call for the immediate termination of all existing bans on hemp across the USA.
*Colorado State University-Pueblo, which ironically houses an Institute of Cannabis Research, maintains the following ignorance-inspired prohibition on hemp and/or Cannabis: “The use of marijuana on campus, even with a valid medical marijuana license, is prohibited.”
