Jim Higdon, co-founder of Cornbread Hemp, discussed the implications of California's hemp regulations, which ban hemp products with any detectable THC. He criticized Governor Gavin Newsom for aligning with the House Freedom Caucus and issuing strict regulations without legislative approval. Higdon highlighted the need for federal regulation through the Farm Bill, noting delays and potential negative amendments.
He praised Senator Ron Wyden's Cannabinoid Safety Regulation Act and Senator Rand Paul's Hemp Economic Mobilization Act, which the latter could raise THC limits to 1%. Cornbread Hemp recently launched USDA-certified organic THC gummies, available in 49 states, emphasizing responsible sales practices.
