Elixinol Global Limited (ASX: EXL) are delighted to announce that the US President has signed the 2018 Farm Bill, which includes the Hemp Farming Act of 2018.
Hemp has now officially been removed from the Controlled Substances Act and will be regulated as an agricultural crop.
Elixinol Global is a company operating in the hemp, dietary supplements and emerging medicinal cannabis sectors.
The signing of the Farm Bill is a major victory for hemp CBD companies whose products are non-psychoactive, like Elixinol’s.
It removes federal regulations preventing companies from growing, marketing and selling hemp and provides easier access to federally regulated services such as banking and insurance.
Elixinol Global’s CEO, Paul Benhaim said: “The legislation change will create significant growth opportunities for Elixinol as it removes existing barriers to trade by more widely opening up the ability for us to access crop insurance, banking and insurance services without restriction.
It also means we will be able to more openly advertise and market our products directly to consumers in the US and we further expect this development will be looked at closely by governments of other countries, including Australia.”
Elixinol will now appoint recognised advertising, public relations and marketing agencies to help build
national brand awareness.

Speaking on Wholesale Investor’s […]
The asset class where the market has no vote
Litigation funding returns are decided in a courtroom, not a cycle. Knightsbridge’s Head of Capital is careful to call that a different risk rather than a lower one, and his answer to it is spread, not concentration. Most alternative assets still answer to something. Property answers to rates. Private credit answers to defaults. Even the […]
The listing fee vendors pay whether the house sells or not
Australia’s property portals collect more than $2 billion a year while national listings sit flat. An Australian-built AI platform is targeting the economics, not just the interface. An Australian vendor listing a home pays a vendor-paid advertising fee on top of agency commission. Rama Dwarapudi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RealSearch, puts a typical […]
