  18. #RhodeIsland #HempIndustry faces uncertainty amid federal crackdown on #THC products

    by Christopher Shea
    Thu, November 13, 2025 at 5:50 AM EST

    "Mike Simpson is one of Rhode Island’s biggest cheerleaders for hemp cultivation and the plant’s derivative products — remedies, he believes, that may help where pharmaceutical medicines cannot.

    "It’s that very reason Simpson helped co-found Rhode Island’s only outdoor hemp farm, where he says many of the business’ products ship all across the country.

    "But Lovewell Farms’ may cease operations now that Congress has approved reopening the federal government under legislation that would effectively ban hemp products containing more than 0.4 milligrams of THC. If approved by President Donald Trump, the ban will go into effect in a year.

    " 'This might be the final straw,' Simpson said in an interview Wednesday. 'I may have to shut my whole company down.'

    " 'I have 700 to 800 pounds of flower that I grew this year that under that law would not be legal,' he said."

Unlike much of the remainder of the United States, New England contains a sense of acceptance and a highly intellectual scene […]
