After Florida legalized hemp July 1, the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office announced it would no longer prosecute most minor marijuana charges because the substance is virtually indistinguishable from hemp.

A lot of places aren't prosecuting marijuana possession for that reason. They can't easily prove it's not hemp.

It would be a little subjective, but there's one test that's pretty definitive. The basis is the same reason why no one actually smokes hemp.

But then we'd have a lot of cops having to take the rest of the day off.

Hemp flowers/cbd are huge here, you can buy it everywhere. I've tried it myself for pain. Pretty sure I still have some hemp trim somewhere. Didn't help much but some people swear by it. My parent's dog gets cbd treats to calm him down during storms and fireworks, that does work pretty well. I'll probably turn the trim into treats for him.
