The Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2009 is a bill that was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by Ron Paul (R-Texas) and Barney Frank (D-Massachusetts) on April 2, 2009. Also known as H.R. 1866, the proposal would repeal federal laws that prohibit farmers from cultivating non-psychoactive industrial hemp. Under current federal drug policy, hemp can be imported in the United States; however, H.R. 1866 would allow American farmers to compete in the global hemp market also. [1] On March 10, 2009, Paul and Frank wrote a letter to their Congressional colleagues urging them to support the legislation.[2][3]
