“Hemp Today” Stuck in the Past on Cannabinoid Hemp

By Rod Kight, Kight on Cannabis

A recent spate of articles in Hemp Today, an industry media outlet focusing on fiber, grain, and other industrial uses for cannabis, decries the popularity of intoxicating cannabinoid products. While one article admits, “there’s nothing inherently wrong with delta-8 THC” when properly formulated, the author recommends that D8 and other intoxicating hemp products be taken away from the hemp industry and sold solely through federally illegal state marijuana distribution channels. This article addresses the misguided view that intoxicating hemp cannabinoids are not properly part of the “hemp” industry, which is itself an artificially created category of the cannabis plant. I will also discuss how a certain sector of the hemp industry, a sector prominently represented by Hemp Today, is blind to the incredible revolution and reform occurring within the broader cannabis industry. This blindness includes a failure to recognize that the revolution is largely led by the cannabinoid hemp sector itself, with current revenues of $28 billion and growing.
