Here is a colorful Graphic illustration regarding the subject...

Graphic Illustration? Is that like analogous to "frustrated incel"?

The state of NJ has had "Medical"  for a couple years.  Current governor Murphy campaigned on Hemp promises but seriously,  everyone was sick of the other  Pig-Monkey and would have voted in a Hedgehog in a suit...

A somewhat related issue - the legalization of Industrial Hemp (fiber & ground-cover) has been discussed over the last few years.

The nearby USDA Research Facility has some people on board with Hemp-Friendly tendencies.

I could see Fiber Hemp as a boon to Farmers and small Industry in "The Garden State".

Less resource-demanding and destructive toward the Environment compared to the pharmaceutical industry.

I have a buddy who is a big nothing in NJ political circles, he says it's a done deal. 

I'm interested to see what sort of rules & regs the Garden State will place upon Industrial Hemp seed - stock when that's eventually approved.

Will farmers be forced to plant Monsanto GMO stuff,  or be allowed to source Seed from worldwide suppliers ?

^I'll pass along your question, stu. Not sure if I'll get a straight answer 

Lumber,  the USDA  Extension facility is just around the corner.  I will probably visit there a few times this Winter and get to know the current staff.

While the wheels spin on the Hemp legislation,  I'm interested in collaborating with them on a Barley project;  2-Row varieties compared to 6-Row in test plots.  If they can throw me a little funding,  then that will cover some fuel & oil-changes on the Tractors.

There is not much Barley grown in Jerseyland,  but I think it's a worthwhile Crop to pursue,  and Breweries are popping up like Mushrooms after a Rain.
