"Ingraham shared a headline from Politico on Monday night that read, Rand Paul wants hemp vote to speed up shutdown endgame. She captioned the story with her own words, adding, Rand Paul wants to hold things up in the Senate so more Americans can get buzzed on hemp-products. Ingraham's apparent dig at Paul, who has long been a thorn in the side of President Donald Trump on foreign policy and a few other issues, led to a response from the Kentucky Senator."
"B. Hemp is an agricultural crop used for textiles, rope, insulation, composite wood, paper, grain, and CBD products that veterans, seniors, and people with chronic pain rely on every day. You don't get high from hemp you'd get a headache long before anything else. C. The issue at hand is a last-minute federal ban slipped into the funding bill that would recriminalize legal hemp crops and shut down farms across the country."
Laura Ingraham shared a Politico headline suggesting Rand Paul wanted a hemp vote to delay the government reopening and quipped that he wanted more Americans 'buzzed on hemp-products.' Paul replied that Senate timing was fixed and he was not holding anything up. He described hemp as an agricultural crop used for textiles, rope, insulation, paper, grain and CBD products relied on by veterans, seniors and people with chronic pain, and said hemp does not make people high. Paul warned a last-minute federal ban in the funding bill would recriminalize hemp, shutter farms, and harm rural economies, arguing regulation rather than destroying the $28 billion industry is the solution. He agreed to speed the funding bill once leadership would bring his amendment to the floor.
