Today I am with Courtney Moran, chief legislative strategist for Agricultural Hemp Solutions and legal champion for hemp agricultural development.  Hemp is one of the most useful plants on the planet, it is a carbon capturing monster, and easy to grow, but legal redtape has put the damper on it’s popularity among farmers in the US.  Hear how Courtney is leading the charge to change that. 

Courtney N. Moran, LL.M. founding principal of EARTH Law, LLC and chief legislative strategist for Agricultural Hemp Solutions, LLC expertly champions legal policy for hemp agribusiness development.  Courtney’s passion and her forward-thinking leadership have carved pathways making hemp an accessible agricultural commodity. She litigated the landmark case KaB, LLC v USPIS, MLB 18-39 (2018) establishing precedent for the shipment of hemp through the US Postal Service. Courtney played a key role in drafting and negotiating the language included in the 2018 Farm Bill federally legalizing hemp. Her extensive knowledge of Hemp Law continues to position her clients at an advantage in the marketplace.
