- NC Governor Stein voices reservations about hemp bill
North Carolina Governor Josh Stein expressed reservations about House Bill 328, which would ban intoxicating hemp products for all ages. While supporting a regulated adult THC market, Stein criticized the bill for not requiring ID checks for kratom and hemp sales and for legalizing natural kratom for adults. Hemp industry advocates argue the bill would harm a $4 billion industry, while opponents highlight public safety concerns.
