The act also provides for a number of regulations and restrictions relating to both the licensing itself, as well as stringent requirements for hemp’s legal growers.  According to [hempbasics.com](https://hempbasics.com/), on a per acre basis, hemp can produce two to three times as much fiber as cotton, with fiber being softer and more durable as well.  The site also adds that hemp can efficiently be used to produce paper, plastic, ethanol fuel, paint, and hundreds of other products.  The site also adds that Presidents Washington and Jefferson both grew hemp as a crop.  Goosmann Law Firm regularly handles agricultural issues as well as regulatory licenses for its clients.  If you’re interested in potentially obtaining a hemp license, please give us a call and we can discuss the process.  ### Select Different CTA for each Post from Blog Editor [![New Call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/489404/a8cefc17-3b9d-4de0-89cd-e60a64752422.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/489404/a8cefc17-3b9d-4de0-89cd-e60a64752422) ### Subscribe Our Blog Thanks for submission!!
