In this episode, we dive into five significant lawsuits impacting the hemp industry, all resulting in courts siding with state regulations over federal ambiguities. We begin with Virginia’s ruling against Northern Virginia Hemp and Agricultural LLC, followed by Arkansas backing Act 629, and move through ongoing cases in Louisiana and Wyoming. Tennessee’s recent legislation mimicking alcohol regulations is also dissected.

The script makes it clear: relying on the 2018 Farm Bill’s preemption magic is risky business as courts uphold states’ rights to set stricter hemp regulations. With Congress on the verge of redefining hemp in the next Farm Bill, the landscape for intoxicating hemp products could change dramatically. This episode urges hemp businesses to rethink their strategies, highlighting the importance of political lobbying over legal battles.
