Hemp

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.

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 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.

The bill would create a medical marijuana program, legalize marijuana, and regulate intoxicating hemp products.

When Silicon Valley tech bro culture meets Santa Cruz surfer culture meets Northern California cannabis culture in a time of rapid legal and regulatory change, the results can be explosive.

The move could devastate the state's hemp-derived cannabinoid industry.

Lawmakers moved to lengthen the window the hemp industry has to come up with a regulatory scheme before a congressionally-approved ban on most hemp cannabinoids goes into effect.
