Hemp Industry Faces Federal THC Limits | Charlotte News
Description
North Carolina’s booming hemp industry, projected to hit $1.8 billion this year, is facing a major regulatory shift as a federal rule set for November 2026 caps THC in finished products at 0.4mg per serving. Farmers and business owners are pushing for a deadline extension, seeing progress with lawmakers, while state legislators draft their own THC limits—sparking a rally in Raleigh ahead of a vote on HB 328, which would also raise the purchase age to 21. Manufacturers support regulation but warn against state-level disruption, urging alignment with federal standards like alcohol laws to protect their livelihoods.
