Collection Overview
- Biography / History
- Kentucky has a long history with the hemp industry, dating back to the state's first recorded hemp crop in 1775. Hemp manufacturing fluctuated much the same as the cotton industry, declining during and following the Civil War and the abolition of slavery. Production increased during the Spanish-American War but faced another setback with the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937. The Act, meant to stop recreational drug use, also made hemp importation and production costly and uneconomical. Hemp production was further limited by way of legislation during the "war on drugs".
- In 1994, Governor Brereton C. Jones signed an executive order to create the Hemp and Related Fiber Crops Task Force to research and report on current and potential use of hemp and related fiber crops. Soon after, in 1996, the North American Industrial Hemp Council was formally established with the purpose of promoting the commercialization and use of industrial hemp products through research, advocacy, partnerships, and consortiums. During the first several years of its operations, the Council promoted and supported industrial hemp legislation in eleven states, including Vermont, Virginia, Missouri, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Colorado, Tennessee, Kansas, and California. The Council worked with domestic and international partners to advocate for legalizing industrial hemp in the U.S. The 2014 Farm Bill opened the door for states to pilot regulation of hemp production. The 2018 Farm Bill removed hemp from the list of federally controlled substances.
