I just learned that here in NYS, a bill was just passed that requires all hemp (CBD) sold in the state to have been grown in NY State.
This is a problem. We're not Big Marijuana. We're not Big Anything. If NY State does this, it's a problem. If other states do it, it's a Big Problem. This is something we need to track. I'll check in with Paul Knopick and see what he has to say about this. Meanwhile, I'm feeling very grateful for our international connections.
Stating the obvious here: This is information, not bashing.

Quote:Critically, Metzger said, the bill mandates that all hemp sold in New York be grown in New York, something she said would provide a lifeline for small and mid-sized farmers, rather than simply create a new market for “Big Marijuana.”
“We needed these licensing and other regulations in place to allow the industry to really move forward and flourish,” said Metzger.
