The Senate bought hemp a month, and the House now has a serious proposal for how to spend it. Reps. Beth Van Duyne and Greg Landsman introduced an alcohol-style framework for hemp beverages Monday, permits, taxes, and a three-tier system attached. The courts are not waiting on Washington: a Roanoke judge hears Virginia's hemp businesses Wednesday, three days before the state's new cap takes effect, Texas kept its enforcement hand, and ten Ohio brewers won back two weeks of sales. Michigan, meanwhile, closed the distance between tax policy and storefronts, five of them, in the Upper Peninsula.
