Hemp Passports: The Curious Bet Of An Ultra‑Conservative Country

Just thought this was interesting.

So people are going to be burning their passports and IDs to try to get high, lol.

Probably not.

In this scenario (and many, many others), hemp could not be more ideal: it grows easily, robustly, and with historic roots in Kazakh soil. The only requirement is that the harvest must meet the legal THC threshold of 0.3%. A global standard that varies—some countries allow up to 2%—but in this case, will serve to boost a green, legal, and exportable industry.
