Kentucky Senator Adrienne Southworth files bill SB113 to increase THC in hemp

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Kentucky Cannabis Company, the original CBD company of Kentucky and the parent company of Bluegrass Hemp Oil, has been working closely with Kentucky Senator Adrienne Southworth to propose a bill that will increase the amount of THC in Hemp.  Because of that, Senator Southworth filed Senate Bill 113.

This bill proposes an increase in the allowable amount of THC in hemp – a move from .3% to 1%. Kentucky Cannabis Company has been fighting for this increase since its inception in 2014, and this move will go a long way in protecting Kentucky farmers from having their crops destroyed over trace amounts of THC that naturally occur in hemp varieties today.

The bill follows what Kentucky Senator Rand Paul proposed in December of 2020-the HEMP Act to relieve unnecessary constraints on the Hemp Industry and to provide transparency and certainty.
