The Kentucky Hemp Association (KYHA) has made its stance very clear regarding recent police raids on hemp stores in the state.
The KYHA alleges State Troopers last week raided two lawful hemp retail stores, looking for Delta-8 THC products.
While Delta-8 THC is a naturally occurring cannabinoid in cannabis, it is only present in very small quantities. But it can be created through the manipulation of cannabidiol (CBD) derived from hemp. The increasing popularity and availability of delta-8 is causing headaches for industry, lawmakers and law enforcement.
KYHA says the troopers seized “hemp products, money, cameras, terrorized the store owners and charged their employees with trafficking.”
