A lab test of a product produced by Diamond CBD turned up a potentially dangerous synthetic cannabinoid. A New York Times story suggests it could be representative of a poorly regulated CBD industry.

  • Diamond CBD parent company Pot Network Holdings said its tests didn’t turn up any abnormalities but it will continue to investigate.
  • “People are taking these products in good faith, because they believe somebody is overseeing the quality of these products,” forensic toxicologist Michelle Peace said. “But there’s basically nobody.”

Meanwhile, in Ohio, Texas, Florida Georgia and elsewhere, there’s a lot of confusion about hemp laws.

  • Canna Law Blog offers Four Important Considerations for hemp and CBD companies.
  • Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) called for clarity on hemp banking laws.
