Re-air: The latest on cannabis
Episode description
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.
