West Virginia Hemp Farmers Unhappy With THC Testing Protocol

Famers in West Virginia are complaining that their hemp crop is undergoing stricter testing than in other states. This stringent testing of THC is putting them at a disadvantage as it costs them huge profits in an industry that is multiplying rapidly.

Hemp is a product of the marijuana plant, but unlike marijuana, which has high levels of THC, hemp has lower levels of THC. Thus, people who consume…
