Editorial urges Kansas hemp crop push amid outdated bans
Guest editorial argues industrial hemp should be legal for Kansas farmers. It cites the 1930s drug label, the 2014 Farm Bill opening state production, and a House approved Senate-stalled measure. Farmers like John Fischer press for a new cash crop as grain prices sag, noting hemp’s lack of psychoactive effects and import reliance from Canada.
