Dueling coalitions of police, military veterans and industry groups are pushing Congress in different directions on whether the planned federal recriminalization of hemp THC products should move forward as scheduled or be delayed. The November 12 deadline does not create a safer, better-regulated hemp market. Some beverage industry groups, convenience stores, wholesalers out with a letter to House and Senate leaders today urging them to delay the hemp ban. News: The National Sheriffs’ Association urges Thune and Schumer to oppose the delay of hemp ban that’s in the CR. Major retailer Target, meanwhile, recently moved to expand its sales of hemp THC drinks into more states.
