The key "hazy" words in that article are "we believe that the Nasdaq has set a dangerous precedent that could prevent nearly every company in the regulated cannabis industry from listing on a national exchange", and while I have some empathy, it's clearly about cannabis with high THC percentage intended for medicinal/recreational use that's being blocked. This will be left up to the individual states once the fed signs off, but not until then. Non intoxicating hemp products have been legal since about 1994, though I would have to check that date to say exactly, but it's not the issue and as you said the haze in this article is intended to garner more support for their fight. Many would simply say "told you so".
