Hemp registration opens for farmers in Colorado

DENVER - Hemp registration is open for farmers in Colorado, the first state to start regulating industrial hemp since the federal government allowed limited hemp regulation.
A handful of Colorado farmers grew industrial hemp last year without interference from law enforcement or state agriculture officials.
But the Saturday opening of a Colorado state industrial hemp registry is the first opportunity for farmers to comply with licensure requirements.
Hemp farmers will have to submit to state inspections to make sure they're not growing the plant's psychoactive cousin, marijuana.

We can import it, but we can't grow it. Our cops and DEA claim they are too stupid to be able to tell the difference between hemp and pot. Yet somehow, the Canadians, the Europeans, and the Chinese manage to figure it out.
