What if it wasn't a loophole? 

[One of the behind-the-scenes architects of the federal law legalizing hemp during President Donald Trump’s first term says it’s a misconception that Congress accidentally created a “loophole” allowing intoxicating cannabinoid products to be sold.

Rather, the controversy over the hemp THC marketplace that’s emerged is a direct consequence of inaction by lawmakers and regulators that could be resolved without outright banning such products, as certain GOP members have proposed, Steve Bevan said in a letter to key Republican committee leaders on Tuesday.]

But - "This stepped-up push to get such products prohibited again is being led in part by McConnell, who has insisted he and colleagues only intended to allow for industrial uses of hemp, with exceptions for non-intoxicating CBD. That isn’t exactly the case, Bevan said."

"We specifically added language about ‘extracts, derivatives, and cannabinoids’ to the definition of hemp to help American farmers and rural communities build businesses around hemp-derived products,” he said. “Senator McConnell understood this and changed the definition. This wasn’t an accident or a loophole—it was intentional to ensure that the farmers of Kentucky newly producing hemp—could reach markets with their new crop.”
