CBD Maker Boro Hemp Fights Back Against Alabama’s Order
Alabama-based CBD manufacturer, Boro Hemp, intends to take legal action to contest an order issued by state health authorities to halt the marketing and sale of its marijuana products.
The Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) issued a warning to Boro Hemp, ordering the company to stop selling, offering to sell, giving away or removing its products from its premises under food processing rules, reported by Hemp Today.
According to Eric Weaver, the company’s marketing manager, an inspector from the ADPH visited the company’s operations in January and acknowledged that their procedures not only met but exceeded the health agency’s requirements.
Due to state health officials’ orders, customers will be deprived of the convenience of shopping locally and receiving advice from their familiar retailers. “Instead, they will have to cross state lines to purchase such products or buy them online from unknown companies,” stressed the only CBD producer in Alabama to receive such a warning. The company also claimed that state hemp farmers could suffer significant losses as a result.
Although Alabama has no specific laws outlawing CBD, the state follows federal guidelines on hemp, leaving CBD in a gray area that has led to the proliferation of CBD products in the state and across the country.
