Group Asks Judge To Pause Hemp Rules As Retailers Fear For Business Ahead
“Flowers and vapes are a significant portion of my business”
On Tuesday, a group asked a Davidson County judge to pause a rule that would essentially ban hemp flower in the state.
The petition asked a Chancery Court judge to pause putting the rule into effect until pending legal challenges to play out.
“All fresh grown, organically grown, flower,” said Rodney Croteau, Owner of Green Daisy in Franklin, showing News 2 some of the products he sells.
If you have a question about the business, Croteau is the guy to ask. Green Daisy is a family-owned business run by Croteau, his wife and his son. They started the business five years ago after his wife went through health problems. Croteau said a majority of their customers tell him they use the products for health reasons.
Lately, though, he’s asked himself why and how he would move forward if a new rule goes into effect.
“Flowers and vapes [are] a significant portion of my business and most of us in this industry,” Croteau said. “It will, quite frankly, put a lot of people in jeopardy of losing their businesses.”
