‘Doing nothing was not an option’: NC Senate votes to crack down on hemp

North Carolina senators moved swiftly to ban most cannabis products, particularly those with intoxicating levels of THC, on their last day of session before a month-long break. This decision, part of House Bill 328, reflects a significant shift in state policy on hemp products, aiming to regulate and possibly curb the sale of products that currently evade strict state controls. This move is crucial as it could impact both local businesses and the broader cannabis industry, reshaping the landscape for hemp production and sales in the state.
