U.S. Hemp Roundtable Named “Power Player” By Politico
Last week, Politico released a ProAnalysis on minor cannabinoids in which the U.S. Hemp Roundtable was cited as a “Power Player” alongside leaders such as Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-ME) and FDA senior public health adviser Norman Birenbaum.
The piece provides a high level overview of cannabis derived cannabinoids including naturally occurring or artificial and non-intoxicating or intoxicating. To clarify, the U.S. Hemp Roundtable believes all products containing hemp-derived cannabinoids should be regulated for consumer safety, and those that are intoxicating should be regulated for adults only and kept out of the hands of minors.
