JERSEY Hemp has criticised the government after it highlighted the need for "entrepreneurialism and innovation" within a new economic strategy, despite allegedly abandoning the company when it needed help. The firm - once praised by the current Economic Development Minister as the "ideal" Island business - is currently engaged in a legal battle over a Home Office ruling that forced it to close earlier this year, after civil servants in Whitehall decided Jersey Hemp's CBD products were illegal.

Senators are reportedly planning to propose a variety of amendments to a bipartisan marijuana banking bill at Wednesday's Senate Banking Committee markup, several sources familiar with the discussions say. While the Secure and Fair Enforcement Regulation (SAFER) Banking Act was formally introduced last week following weeks of bipartisan negotiations, there is still evidently disagreement among members over issues such as cannabis industry access to stock exchanges, banking regulations aimed at preventing discriminatory enforcement, broad justice-focused marijuana reform and more.
