Budding hemp industry holds its breath over potential flower ban - Mountain Xpress

Butler is executive director of the N.C. Industrial Hemp Association, a nonprofit trade group. He says he’s driven from Asheville to Raleigh at least eight times in June alone to meet with state legislators about the potential ban on smokable hemp. Kight, an attorney, runs a legal blog called Kight on Cannabis. “All we’re trying to do is help the North Carolina farmer,” says Butler. “We want that famer to be recognized for growing a crop. It’s been legal in the state for three years under the pilot program, and smokable flower makes up about one-third of that industry. For law enforcement to come in on the back end — our question is, where have they been?” Although a May 23 draft of the farm bill called for the SBI’s requested ban on smokable hemp to take effect as soon as Dec. 1, 2019, the version which was passed by the Senate delays the ban until Dec. 1, 2020. In addition, the bill instructs the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Hemp Association, the Hemp Commission, the SBI and any other law enforcement agencies and district attorneys the SBI wishes to include, to “meet at least quarterly to discuss best practices for the hemp industry.” The last-minute shift, which buys critical time for the industry, seems to be due largely to Butler’s advocacy efforts since he was hired as the Hemp Association’s executive director in mid-January. During his frequent trips to Raleigh, Butler says he’s met one-on-one with the SBI, sheriffs, district attorneys and legislative leaders. All of them, he reports — including Sen. Brent Jackson, an author of the bill — have been receptive. “We know the technology is there for a reliable field test,” Butler maintains. “The DEA now has a list of vendors they could recommend. My goal is to get a reliable field test in the hands of the SBI within three months.” But for Butler, there’s a bigger issue at stake. “All the concerns the SBI brought up, we can address, but we definitely cannot be categorized as an industry that is going to break the law,” he cont...

This year, they've more than tripled the number to 17 and expanded to across the Triangle.

In Bloom: What to know before you go to Raleigh's Dix Park sunflower field

By Sarah Lindenfeld Hall, Go Ask Mom editorRaleigh, N.C. - There are still plenty of flowers left to bloom, but Raleigh's five acres of sunflowers at Dix Park are a sight to behold at the moment. On Tuesday morning, hundreds of the flowers were in bloom. Their bright yellow petals soaked up the sun. As WRAL reported earlier, Dix Park is the new location for the city's popular sunflower field. For a few years, they had taken over a field next to the greenway along Old Baucom Road in southeast Raleigh. But, eventually, the sunflowers drew hundreds - even thousands - to the rural stretch for selfies, family pictures and more than a few Instagram and Facebook posts. But the problem was this: It wasn't originally intended to become a photo opp. The fields served as an application site for biosolids from the Neuse River Resource Recovery Facility, one of the city's wastewater treatment plant. Biosolids, a stabilized sludge, are a byproduct of the wastewater treatment process and used as fertilizer on the sunflower fields. The su...
