As law enforcement backs a hemp ban, protestors push NC lawmakers to vote no
North Carolina's House Bill 328, passed by the Senate, aims to ban hemp products with over 0.4 mg THC and impose age restrictions. Hemp industry advocates argue it would cripple a $4 billion sector, while law enforcement supports the ban to prevent access to children. Protests are ongoing as the House debates the bill.
