This Is Nashville

Re-air: The latest on cannabis

Listen Later

Hemp and CBD are legal in Tennessee but marijuana (medical and recreational) is not. So where does this leave Delta-8?

A Tennessee lawmaker proposed a bill this legislative session that would have regulated and taxed Delta-8 products, but the bill didn’t make it out of committee. Meanwhile, stores selling Delta-8, CBD and hemp products are cropping up across the state, and there’s even a CBD restaurant and bar that’s coming to Nashville.

Today we talk to people who make a living in the hemp and CBD industries about the plant, cannabis stigma and proposed regulations.

We'll also take a trip to LabCanna with Khalil to hear the latest on cannabis in Tennessee.

This re-air and this scene were produced by Khalil Ekulona. The original episode was produced by Steve Harcuh. 

Guests:

  • Cecliy Friday, citizen lobbyist and patient advocate, executive director of the Tennessee Cannabis Coalition and founder of the Southern Hemp Expo

  • Frederick Cawthon, president of Hemp Alliance Of Tennessee

  • Derek Besenius, owner of LabCanna

  • Drea Groeschel-Guinness, president of NuSachi Hemp

  • J. Mitchell, expert in hemp cultivation and manufacturing
