The Latest Industry News

 

The FTC and FDA have both sent letters of cease and desist to six different hemp-based companies, all housing Delta 8 products. The federal organizations shared that the packaging of their products are "almost identical to many snacks and candy children eat." Similar to Doritos, Nerds candy, and more, the packaging from the companies are said to be "unfair or deceptive marketing." The companies named were Delta Munchies, Dr. Smoke, Exclusive Hemp Farms, The Haunted Vapor Room, Nikte's Wholesale, and North Carolina Hemp Exchange.

While it's great that Tennessee recognizes that cannabinoids like Delta 8 and Delta 9 fall under the 2018 Farm Bill when hemp-derived, they have also chosen to impose a 6% tax on those cannabinoid-driven products, on top of the standard 7% state sales tax rate. From Delta 8 to Delta 9 to Delta 10, and even CBD, products derived from hemp now come with the tax. Those who have chose to sell the products also must obtain a state license and must comply with product testing standards.

We've known for years that plastic destroy the planet with pollution and waste, and there are thousands of people looking for ways to save it. Canadian researchers have conducted a new study that suggests that hemp bioplastics could replace current packaging. The team of researchers at Western University in London, Ontario used powder made by grinding up the stems from hemp, instead of using the high-density polyethylene pellets that are commonly used to create conventional plastic packaging. They took the hemp stems as a replacement and fed the material into the same manufacturing process as they do with the pellets. There was no added technology or process, and the results were incredible. It creates a new series of biocomposites sourced from renewable resources and strong potential for biodegradation in the environment, according to the study. While the strength and malleability didn't meet benchmarks for conventional plastics, it was however, stronger and more malleable than other materials that are plant-based.
