Despite commitments from both major parties to improve on and regulate the marijuana industry, cannabis advocates say the General Assembly has left a flourishing industry in the weeds.
Jacob Williamson grows, makes, and sells hemp-based CBD products through his family’s Hens and Hemp farm. He went through the permitting process to be a hemp farmer when it became legal in 2019, but now he is leaving the industry.
“We can’t keep up with the multimillion-dollar cannabis industry coming into the state,” Williamson said.
“So, we’re just gonna stop because it’s too much.”
