The DEA just scheduled Hexahydrocannabinol (HHC) as a Schedule I controlled substance and assigned it a unique drug code. Now, the creation, sale, or distribution of synthetic HHC is a federal violation under the Controlled Substances Act. Let's break down what this actually means in layman's terms.

💬 WHY DOES THIS CHANNEL SOMETIMES USE THE WORD “MARIJUANA”?

You may hear the term “marijuana” used in some of my videos. While I personally believe the word is outdated, unscientific, and rooted in racially charged propaganda, it still appears in federal and state law — which makes it necessary in legal conversations.

As an attorney, I use the language defined by law when discussing federally illegal substances. There is currently no federal legal definition for "cannabis"... but there is for “hemp” and “marijuana," so clarity matters. When referring to THC content and legal classifications, that’s when you’ll hear the word used. But make no mistake: in my eyes, it’s all cannabis.

Let's prepare for the worst and hope for the best! Health and wellness attorney Morgan Davis helps clients every day prepare for the hemp industry's constantly changing landscape. Right now, hemp is set to shutdown in November. Here's how to prepare for the current moment in the hemp industry.

There was a recent op-ed that said the hemp industry didn't get killed by regulators -- it killed itself. You can read it in full here: https://wdww.marijuanamoment.net/the-hemp-didnt-get-killed-by-regulators-it-killed-itself-op-ed/

This is my response to that op-ed, but it also addresses how people get on their high horse for no good reason when it comes to the hemp industry.

If you're in the hemp business, shipping is where "law" meets REAL RISK! We're going to talk about the law, but also some practical insights and SOPs for your business. Avoid getting your shipments seized.

Three pieces of legislation at play in South Carolina that could significantly impact the hemp industry. Here is what I'll discuss in today's episode:

🟢 Bill 4758: The Big Crackdown... this bans anything with THC for human consumption and lots more.
🟢 Bill 4759: The Targeted Approach... this has a hemp beverage carveout, similar to what we've recently seen in other states.
🟢 Bill 3924: The One To Watch... this shifts to CBD focused regulation, a focus on banning synthetic cannabinoids, a total THC standard, and more (like problematic language around "psychoactive").

What does this mean for businesses in South Carolina? I'm here to walk you through it.
