Hemp Industry and Law Enforcement Clash Over NC Farm Act

Via Cousin John


North Carolina legislators have found themselves in the midst of a battle between the state’s law enforcement community and the hemp industry over the legal status of hemp and marijuana in North Carolina. At recent committee meetings in the state legislature, it has come to light that the most profitable hemp product is the smokable hemp flower. The problem with this is that this dried plant material is indistinguishable, both visually and aromatically, from marijuana. Therein lies the problem for law enforcement.
