Legal in foods
Hemp industry representatives and supporters were elated by a federal court decision in early Feb. 2004 which rejected the US Drug Enforcement Administration's attempt to ban hemp-containing foods. The Washington Post reported on Feb. 7, 2004 ( "Appeals Court Limits Ban On Hemp Products") that "Federal drug police don't have the authority to take hemp food products off the market, a federal appeals court ruled yesterday. A unanimous three judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in San Francisco said the Drug Enforcement Administration cannot regulate hemp in food because such 'non-psychoactive hemp products' are not included in its list of dangerous drugs."
