[dupe] Hemp Ban Hidden Inside Government Shutdown Bill

Comments moved thither. Thanks!
Hemp farmers aren't billionaires, so Congress doesn't care.
They should have gifted trump a golden spliff - he would have given them subsidies and government contracts instead.
I'm sure they could talk to Don Jr and set up a new cryptocurrency to help failing farmers - and I'm sure it wouldn't immediately be rug pulled.
More farm land for Acre Trader to buy up for pennies on the dollar!
Rand Paul huh
He's also behind this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read_the_Bills_Act
