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.”
