What is contained in this package might look like marijuana, but is actually Legal industrial hemp flower. This following legislation establishes the legality of industrial hemp produced in state pilot agricultural programs. Congress provides the requisite definition for allowable amounts of THC "industrial Hemp means the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of such plant, whether growing or not, with delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis". An important legal distinction also appears in the first sentence of this bill, stating: "Notwithstanding the controlled substance Act (21 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act (20 U.S.C. 7107 et seq.), chapter 81 of tittle 41, United States Code, or any other Federal law". The term "notwithstanding" was widely used by the 114th Congress as a way to supersede previous laws that may apply, without going through the process of overturning them. This confirms that industrial hemp cannot be considered "marijuana" under the CSA. 

Consolidated Appropriations Act, Sec. 763 (2016)
