Drug War Chronicle

The serial killers are still on the loose.

The multi-billion-dollar hemp cannabinoid industry will be forced almost entirely out of business in November unless Congress acts to modify the looming ban it approved last year.

This legalization bill is unlikely to advance this session, but lays the groundwork for progress after the mid-terms.

A handful of companies that sued will be able to continue selling hemp-derived intoxicating cannabinoid beverages.

Representative Beth Van Duyne’s proposed legislation would legalize hemp-infused drinks for adults, establishing federal tax structures and safety standards to protect the industry from an impending ban.

Smoke shop owners are circumventing recent state rules that bar the sale of certain intoxicating cannabinoids.

The Chronicle may have had a respite, but law enforcement corruption related to drug prohibition took no break.

The sales of hemp-derived intoxicating cannabinoid products will remain unrestricted, at least until a looming federal ban takes hold in November.

As the federal ban on hemp-derived cannabinoid products looms, the White House weighs in.
