(MNN)-Governor Tim Walz is weighing in on the federal ban on hemp-based THC products in the bill that ended the government shutdown. The industry and lawmakers are now scrambling before the law takes effect in a year. Walz says he thinks the new rule is very disruptive. The governor told reporters, “We welcome the work that has been done and listening to the folks who are in this, this came out of left field to them and unprepared them for it and I think we’re still trying to understand what that means.” Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith vowed to try and convince their colleagues that this ban is a bad idea and should be reversed.
