the
challenges

the
unusual
agricultural

and

CBD.

With
the
passage
of
the
2018
Farm
Bill,
the
world
of
the
cannabis
plant
has
undergone
a
seismic
shift
allowing
for
its
legal
cultivation
as
long
as
its
THC
content
remains
below
0.3%. 
A
year
later,
the
federal
and
state
governments,
including
the
state
of
Ohio,
are
in
the
process
of
creating
regulations
that
would
allow
the
agricultural
sector
to
take
advantage
of
this
new
crop
while
at
the
same
time
addressing
numerous
concerns
about
public
health
and
law
enforcement.
