It is why I strongly stand against intoxicating hemp products and have fought to keep them out of our state. For years, intoxicating hemp-derived products flooded South Carolina with no age restrictions, no safety testing, and no accountability. There have been reports of Chinese chemical supplies trying to evade customs by mislabeling synthetic THC. South Carolina’s Congressional delegation needs to firmly reject this effort and keep the hemp loophole closed. ***ABOUT THE AUTHOR…Mike Burns represents District 17 in the South Carolina House.
