On Friday afternoon, The House of Representatives threw the hemp industry a curve. A last minute amendment to the 2024 Farm Bill got approved. If the bill does not change it could end the controversial Delta B and THC A market. Since the Farm Bill of 2018, these hemp derived intoxicants have established a billion dollar industry that is unregulated but widely distributed . This development crashed stock prices, and sent farmers and distributors, and probably a few smoke shop owners and convenience stores into a panic. Andrews Behringer in Washington DC, LeVanna Vassau in California, Tina Tasaka in Nevada, Lisa Williams in Texas. PCM Founder Jimmy Young interviews NEWS 13 NY Tara Rosenblum on her cannabis contest documenting 3 social equity participants for two years in that crazy NY market. If you want to comment on the DEA’s public comment period for the re-scheduling of cannabis to schedule 3…here it is. Just cut and paste into your brower.
