New Federal Law Threatens Hemp Products in NC

New federal spending plan threatens access to hemp-derived products in North Carolina, potentially impacting individuals like Kiki Snyder who rely on these products for mental health conditions. The law effectively bans most hemp-derived THC products, including popular items like gummies, drinks, and vapes. With over 1500 licensed hemp producers in the state, the industry faces significant challenges. Attorneys general from 39 states, including North Carolina, urged Congress to revise hemp laws due to concerns over potent, psychoactive THC products appealing to children and increasing childhood cannabis exposures. As these changes are set to take effect next year, many are hoping for a different outcome to prevent people from turning to unregulated and potentially unsafe alternatives. DNN | The Daily News Now!
