A nationwide coalition of activists will converge Tuesday, December 4th, in more than 53 cities in 17 states to protest recent federal regulations criminalizing hemp food products. Activists will be setting up tables at local DEA offices and serving various edible hemp products to show their opposition to the new ban and educate law enforcement on the nutritional value of hemp.
In October, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) issued regulations prohibiting the possession and manufacture of any edible hemp seed or oil products – including snack bars, veggie burgers and salad oils – that test positive for trace levels of THC.
