Kentucky is a leading producer of industrial hemp with over 6,700 acres planted to date. The Kentucky Legislature believes that the marketing of industrial hemp products is legal given the passage of the Farm Bill and removal of industrial hemp from the controlled substances list. [HCR 43](https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/recorddocuments/bill/19RS/HC43/bill.pdf) states that social media companies, including Facebook, prevent the marketing of industrial hemp products by limiting advertisements and removing web pages operated by industrial hemp business owners. The resolution urges the social media companies to review internal policies and permit industrial hemp business owners to market products to the platforms’ users. ## Share this post [mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fhs.getobedio.com%2Fblog%2F2019%2F02%2F17%2F2019-2-17-kentucky-house-passes-resolution-urging-social-media-to-allow-hemp-advertising](mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fhs.getobedio.com%2Fblog%2F2019%2F02%2F17%2F2019-2-17-kentucky-house-passes-resolution-urging-social-media-to-allow-hemp-advertising) ## Keep reading ### [California Ballot Measure Local Municipalities California voters will decide 118 local tax measures and $8.07 billion in bond requests on November 3](https://hs.getobedio.com/blog/california-voters-will-decide-118-local-tax-measures-and-8.07-billion-in-bond-requests-on-november-3) ### [Local Ordinance Zoning Ordinance Development Data Federal Realty Asks La Mesa to Approve a 165,000-Square-Foot Bass Pro Shops Where Macy's Stood at Grossmont Center](https://hs.getobedio.com/blog/federal-realty-asks-la-mesa-to-approve-a-165000-square-foot-bass-pro-shops-where-macys-stood-at-grossmont-center) [![Obedio your municipal data source](https://hs.getobedio.com/hs-fs/hubfs/google%20workspace-1.png?width=100&height=41&name=google%20workspace-1.png "Obedio your municipal data source")](https://getobedio.com) Obedio's business intelligence platform provides data and insights from over 25,000 municipalities, enabling retail, manufacturing, finance, real estate, and government clients to make informed decisions, assess risk, and identify opportunities. **Data Source & Liability Disclaimer:** The data presented on this website is aggregated from various official government and public entities ("The Original Government Sources").
