State representative files bill to legalize hemp for research

SAN ANTONIO -- A state representative from San Antonio filed a bill to legalize hemp for research purposes.


Representative Joe Farias says the U.S. is currently the worlds' number one importer of hemp but is the only industrialized country that does not allow domestic hemp production. Hemp is used in food, clothing, oils and plastics.
Right now, hemp is considered a schedule one substance under federal law, which means it's a substance that has no accepted medical use.

Farias says his bill permits state universities to research how to grow the hemp. He says unlike marijuana, hemp produces low amounts of THC, which is the ingredient in marijuana that gets you high.
"If you want to get a high off of one of these, you have to smoke a joint the size of a telephone poll within 15 minutes," said Farias.
Farias says roughly 20 states are already in the process of legalizing hemp. He says he's already received support from the farming community in Texas should his bill move forward.
