- North Carolina lawmakers table controversial hemp restriction bill after widespread protests
North Carolina lawmakers tabled House Bill 328, which would have restricted hemp-derived products to 0.4 milligrams of THC per container and limited purchases to those 21 and older, following widespread protests and business closures. Opponents, including industry leaders and customers, argued the bill would harm jobs and access to wellness products, while supporters emphasized the need to prevent minors from accessing the products.
