How will new law banning vaporizer shipments impact cannabis businesses? There’s no mention of hemp or marijuana in the new law, but businesses in both sectors should be prepared to comply, said Rod Kight, a cannabis attorney in Asheville, North Carolina.
“To the extent that they are participants in the industry who are selling vape products, it absolutely affects them,” Kight said of companies that manufacture or sell cannabis vaping supplies.

Thank you @nocohempexpo for bringing the hemp community back together. To get myself through an essentially secluded 2020 I definitely pushed emotions of missing friends and family under the rug. There’s nothing like a hug and in-person communication with humans that feel so passionately about the plant and how to move the needle forward in healing the earth like you do. I was so elated to see faces that I haven’t in over a year. It was also incredible to see all of the changes that have taken place within companies and leaders in the industry. I learned so much and can’t wait for the @southernhempexpo 😍🌱💚

Oregon CBD company latest to allege wrongful border seizure Oregon hemp manufacturer We CBD is the latest to accuse U.S. Customs and Border Protection of wrongly seizing legal hemp products.
The company in Sandy, Oregon, says that CBP seized 3,328 pounds of hemp biomass on Nov. 8 in Charlotte, North Carolina. The hemp was destined for an unnamed buyer in Zurich, Switzerland.

FDA Commissioner Hahn makes first public comments on CBD On February 26th 2020, FDA Commissioner Hahn gave his first public speech at the NASDA Winter Policy Conference. He addressed the topic of CBD products and acknowledged that these products are here to stay. "People are using these products. We're not going to be able to say you can’t use these products. It’s a fools game to try to even approach that.” Commissioner Hahn went on to say "We have to be open to the fact that there might be some value in these products and certainly American’s think that’s the case. But we want to get them information to help them make the right decisions.”
We applaud Commissioner Hahn for acknowledging the fact that many American’s are using hemp extracts and that they are not going away. We urge the FDA to stop claiming CBD products are illegal and begin regulating them the same as any other food or dietary supplement. The industry is ready to work with you to help study this further and fill in the missing gaps but we can’t wait for years for that to happen given that consumers are using them.

“In a year when brick-and-mortar stores shut down because of the pandemic, business conducted online was the top sales channel for hemp-derived products in 2020.” About 66% of hemp sales happened online. No surprise here! We’re you part of that 66%?

Why hemp industry has trouble finding banks The exceedingly thin line between hemp and high-THC cannabis is continues to make banks nervous.
"From a lending perspective, this slim margin of error presents risk that may make some banks hesitant to serve these businesses, particularly banks that lack the resources to ensure a business is complying with that threshold," an American Bankers Association spokesperson said in an emailed statement.
