"The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear the case of a former commercial truck driver who was fired after a failed drug test he said was caused by a CBD elixir advertised to contain no THC, the psychoactive ingredient in ma*****na.

For 14 years, Douglas Horn worked as a trucker. After a serious accident, he came across an advertisement for a new “CBD-rich medicine” called “Dixie X” that was advertised as having no THC. Horn tried the product in 2012 and failed his drug test weeks later. Horn said he had never used ma*****na..." Read more on this via our recent LTH Newsletter, letstalkh**p.com/newsletter-may-1-2024/

"Farmers in Zimbabwe are pivoting from the country’s traditional staple crops like corn to a new lucrative crop—h**p production. Leaders in the country, however, are more worried about any disruptions to food security locally than the potential economic boon h**p will likely bring to the country.

Agriculture contributes about 18% to Zimbabwe’s total gross domestic product (GDP), and maize or corn is the country’s staple crop and accounts for a substantial proportion of the lion’s share of fertilizers that are used, the Zimbabwe Food and Agriculture Organization reports. Corn crops are followed by millet and sorghum, in terms of prevalence..." Read more on this via our recent LTH Newsletter, letstalkh**p.com/newsletter-april-17-2024/!⁠

"It has been said that attorney generals operate in the unique intersection of policy, politics, and the law. Much like state AGs, the h**p industry is at the same intersection. MC Nutraceuticals recognizes that some state policies clearly favor federally illegal products (ma*****na) while politics in other states allow small businesses to thrive with minimal government overreach, and it sees that the law must strike a balance to provide operators, regulators, and enforcement offices the stability they all want- a well-regulated industry. MC Nutraceuticals looks forward to working with NoCo attendees to create this stability for everyone as we continue the progression of America’s cannabis industry..."

"State Attorneys General (AG) have a history of getting it wrong with respect to h**p and h**p products. Earlier this week attorney Amber Lengacher with my firm wrote an article about the Arizona AG’s position statement on delta-8 THC. Previously, I engaged in good faith with the South Carolina AG, only to have him issue a convoluted and illogical legal opinion that delta-8 THC was illegal. Today, a group of 20 state AGs signed a letter to Congress “to address the glaring vagueness created in the 2018 Farm Bill that has led to the proliferation of intoxicating h**p products across the nation and challenges to the ability for states and localities to respond to the resulting health and safety crisis.” A copy of the letter is below. Aside from failing to provide any evidence of a “health and safety crisis”, the letter also fails by not understanding the h**p market, not offering any concrete proposals, undermining small businesses, and ultimately attempting to interfere with the right of adults to make choices of what legal products they decide to consume without government interference..."

"Cannabis brands often struggle from the jump. Getting started is difficult with license lotteries and lack of access to capital, and things rarely get easier once open for business. High taxation, inability to sell or market directly to consumers, and other problems arise regularly, even for the most efficient brands. Meanwhile, the h**p-derived THC space is soaring with interstate commerce, direct-to-consumer sales, and lower taxes than state-regulated cannabis. Could h**p save the cannabis industry..?"

"Industrial h**p farmers were disappointed to see a measure killed in the House that would have increased the percentage of THC allowed in h**p grown for fiber and grain cultivation. Del. Nicholas Freitas, R-Culpeper, introduced House Bill 1485 with Del. Tony Wilt, R-Harrisonburg, as a co-sponsor. Legislators voted 12-10 to table the bill in committee earlier this month. Industrial h**p is cannabis, but it contains low amounts of THC because of when it is harvested. It cannot be used to get high — it would be like “smoking a towel to get high,” one h**p farmer testified at the bill’s committee hearing. The proposed bill covered h**p that produces rope, building materials and animal bedding. It did not apply to products for human consumption, such as edibles..."

"I keep on looking at this chart on total U.S. h**p acres licensed, and it is hard to believe what is happening. Currently, the acres licensed for h**p cultivation are below 2018 levels. This is acres licensed, not acres planted or acres harvested. How did this happen? Why was the state of regulated h**p cultivation allowed to get this bad? It should not have been this way at all, and accountability can be spread among all stakeholders. In fact, there is plenty of blame to go around..."
