South Carolina Police Leaders Push Lawmakers To Ban Hemp Products Instead Of Regulating Them: "Simply using hemp-derived cannabinoid in place of THC or marijuana is merely a distinction without a real difference."
South Carolina Police Leaders Push Lawmakers To Ban Hemp Products Instead Of Regulating Them
"Simply using hemp-derived cannabinoid in place of THC or marijuana is merely a distinction without a real difference." By Adrian Ashford, South Carolina Daily Gazette South Carolina law enforcement chiefs are urging legislators to reject a freshman lawmaker’s proposal to regulate, not ban, intoxicating hemp products for people like his son, who uses them to treat seizures. It’s a bad idea, according to leaders of the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) and associations representing police chiefs and sheriffs across South Carolina, whose letters to House leaders were shared Monday with all 124 members.
