Until recently industrial hemp production in the U.S. has been illegal at the federal level. The 2018 Farm Bill legalized the production and distribution of industrial hemp and hemp related products. Using a 2019 online survey we assess consumer awareness and views on this policy change. Notably, we assess whether consumers agree/disagree with the legalization of industrial hemp.
