Description

With a federal hemp deadline looming on November 12, CBD and beverages may be better positioned than many other hemp categories to survive and scale. This panel explores how broad consumer familiarity, political support and retail legitimacy could translate into mainstream staying power if the ban holds—and what operators must do now to prepare.
