FYI, the federal government is the precedent for this.
There is no federal law making hemp (marijuana) illegal.
Since it is a perfectly legitimate crop grown for thousands of years for fiber (by George Washington, for example), the feds knew they could not make it illegal.
Instead, they placed an exorbitant tax on it in the form of a tax stamp.
It's what they'll do to guns someday.
