History

Hemp took a hiatus in the United States for more than four decades, but it was brought back around in 2018 when the federal government passed a bill distinguishing hemp from marijuana to make it legal.

National Hemp Month has been celebrated since 2019 when it was founded by a company called cbdMD. The hope behind the event was for more people to know about and understand just how powerful and useful this little plant can be. From rope and textiles to moisturizing lotion and teas, hemp brings so much to the table when it comes to the farming industry.
