Interest level in growing legal hemp or CBD in the U.S. 2019-2020

The cannabis industry in the United States is still relatively new. The uses of marijuana are varied, not only can it be used as a psychoactive substance but it can also produce byproducts such as hemp and CBD. There are more flexible regulations for the industrial production of hemp, particularly in terms of its cultivation and distribution of this plant as an agricultural product. CBD, also known as cannabidiol, is from the non-psychoactive portion of the plant and is used in a wide range of products from cosmetics to ingestible oils that are used to create a feeling of relaxation and calm. Still, personal cultivation of this type of cannabis was not widely recognized. During a survey in 2020, 11 percent of respondents said they would definitely grow hemp or CBD personally if it was legal to do so. Comparatively, in both 2019 and 2020, majority of respondents said they definitely would not grow hemp or CBD, even if it was legal.

美国的大麻产业尚处于起步阶段。大麻的用途多样，不仅作为一种精神活性物质被使用，还能产生诸如亚麻和CBD等副产品。在亚麻的工业生产方面，特别是作为农产品进行种植和分销的规则更为灵活。CBD，也称为大麻二酚，来源于植物的非精神活性部分，广泛应用于从化妆品到可食用油等众多产品中，用以营造放松和宁静的感觉。然而，个人种植此类大麻并未得到广泛认可。在2020年的调查中，11%的受访者表示，如果种植亚麻或CBD合法，他们肯定会进行个人种植。相比之下，在2019年和2020年，大多数受访者表示，即使种植亚麻或CBD合法，他们也绝对不会进行种植。
