US EditionHemp Businesses Fear Impact of Potential NC Regulatory Legislation
- On Thursday, lawmakers in North Carolina approved House Bill 328, which prohibits synthetic hemp products and establishes regulations for the statewide sale of Delta-9 items.
- The bill responds to concerns over unregulated hemp sales by restricting purchases to adults 21 and older and banning products on school grounds.
- HB 328 requires sellers to obtain licenses starting at $25,000, mandates child-safe packaging, limits Delta-9 THC content, and enforces criminal and civil penalties.
- Allen Pickett said the bill will strengthen the hemp industry despite the high fee, while Jamie Bartholomaus warned it could drive smaller shops out of business.
- The bill is headed back to the House for additional review and, if enacted next July, enforcement will be handled by North Carolina Alcohol Law Enforcement.
