Summary: <p>Jefferson Exchange — March 6, 2013, HOUR 1</p><p><b>Hemp on the Horizon? </b><br><a href="http://www.votehemp.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Industrial hemp</strong></a> has an ongoing problem: it comes from the plant cannibis sativa, the very same plant that gives the world marijuana. So the federal government will not allow its cultivation. That could change, now that both Oregon senators introduced an industrial hemp farming act, which--if passed--would remove federal restrictions on industrial hemp farming in the U.S. and allowing states to regulate the crop. </p><p><b>VENTSday </b><br> No guest, two topics, and all the calls and emails we can fit in half an hour.
