I haven't seen this mentioned much here. Maybe you wondered why seed banks are declaring their seeds to be hemp with less than 0.3% THC or why CBD is suddenly everywhere, in dog biscuits and massage oil? It is because the Farm Bill signed by Trump at the end of 2018 changed the Controlled Substances Act.
Previously, seeds, flowers and leaves were all "marijuana" and Schedule I. Now those things are "hemp" if they contain less than 0.3% THC. Seeds have no THC. I think clones are OK too.
State law hasn't changed though the states are supposed to submit plans for regulating hemp to the FDA.
