After surviving the Texas Legislature, the hemp industry now faces a new challenge: In one year, products like gummies and drinks that are hemp-based or hemp-derived will be prohibited. The ban was folded into the deal to reopen the federal government, despite an attempt by Sen. Ted Cruz to strip it from the final version, and some are hoping that Cruz can help reverse it before the ban goes into effect. The move comes after the Texas cannabis and hemp industry beat most attempts by the state legislature to shut business down, and would cripple businesses in Austin, Central Texas, and throughout the state. Executive Producer Eva Ruth Moravec is joined by Heather Fazio, director of the Texas Cannabis Policy Center, to talk about it all. If you’re looking for info on the conference Fazio mentioned, check here.
