As the dust starts to settle on the #hemp “ban,” many stakeholders are wondering: What’s next? What should they do? What does the future hold? @ZackKobrin, @AsFayne, and I answer some of these questions and tee up a few more in the piece linked below.
#THC#beverages
We’re still reviewing the proposal, but a 0.4 mg #THC cap would reshape the #hemp market. Worth noting: #FDA already bans hemp THC but rarely enforces it. W/out enforcement resources behind it, will this new ban change much?

Thx to @CSPDailyNews for including my thoughts on the #hemp-derived #THC#beverage market. While some groan about compliance, I like to encourage clients to think about it as a competitive advantage. In a noisy category, being responsible operator can be a differentiator.
“I’ve always encouraged responsible stakeholders to push for regulation because it is a barrier to entry, because it lends some credence and some maturity to what the industry is doing,” said Jonathan Havens (@RegulatoryAtty), partner at @SaulEwing. cspdailynews.com/cbdhemp/hem…
