A loophole in the farm bill allows for the sale of hemp products that include a form of THC. North Carolina is one state where stores selling intoxicating hemp products have popped up.

The bill implements child safety rules that include punishments for “mislabeling” or creating packages that are “attractive to children,” or anyone under 21.

A hemp regulation bill advanced through the Senate Fiscal Policy Committee after removing a cap on THC potency levels. An advocate for hemp businesses explains why the changes are important to the industry.

The proposal would put stricter rules on the distribution and retail sale of hemp extract to curb access to some of the euphoric-inducing strains of the products by minors.

Tyler Griffin was motivated to start the business as his father's rheumatoid arthritis caused debilitating pain: "When your dad is sick, you’ll go to all the lengths.”
