California Rejects Proposed Regulations On Hemp, The Industry Celebrates, For Now
This decision follows opposition from hemp industry supporters
The California Senate Appropriations Committee has rejected an assembly bill (AB 2223) that would strictly regulate intoxicating hemp-derived cannabinoids.
This decision follows opposition from hemp industry supporters who issued a statement saying the bill “represented an unholy alliance between regulators and the companies they regulate – the largest marijuana companies who seek to destroy the new hemp industry.”
The statement from U.S. Hemp Roundtable followed a campaign urging people to contact their legislators, asking them to reject the bill. The group claims that thousands of emails were sent, highlighting the potential damage AB 2223 could cause.
As a result, the Senate decided not to advance the bill, effectively ending its progress for this year.
