“We think that the jury was very perceptive and that they realized my client had life-threatening, life-altering injuries and that he’s never going to be the same.” By Rebecca Rivas, Missouri Independent A St. Louis, Missouri jury awarded a California cannabis consultant $3 million on Thursday, following a four-day trial where he argued a 2022 lab accident ended his career in the marijuana industry. The incident happened when Mark Avent of Escondido, Calif., was helping build out the cultivation and manufacturing facility at 5401 Bulwer Ave. in St. Louis, which is owned by Blue Arrow Missouri LLC. Blue Arrow hired Avent in 2022 through a one-year, $100,000 contract to procure the necessary equipment to grow and manufacture marijuana products and train employees on the machines. During that time, a lab technician accidentally mishandled a commercial vacuum which was used to clean the lab equipment. The vacuum blew fine marijuana dust particles into the air, and Avent suffered a severe asthma attack that led to a heart attack. The jury unanimously found that Blue Arrow was at fault for 85 percent of Avent’s injuries, and Avent carried 15 percent of the fault. “We’re very pleased with the verdict,” said William Meehan, Avent’s attorney. “We think that the jury was very perceptive and that they realized my client had life-threatening, life-altering injuries and that he’s never going to be the same.” Blue Arrow’s attorneys had argued that Avent was partially responsible because he wasn’t wearing a mask even though he knew he had issues with asthma. “Mr. Avent was a highly intelligent, highly skilled individual who knew how to set up new labs,” said David Simmons, Blue Arrow’s attorney, in his closing argument Thursday. “And he also knew how to protect himself.” During the trial, one cannabis expert said the only mask that could have protected Avent from the amount of fine dust particles blown into the air that day was an industrial face respirator, not a surgical mask. Lisa Avent, Mark’s wife, said the jury may have missed the significance in the difference in types of masks necessary to prevent such a medical emergency. The jury awarded $2.5 million in damages to Mark Avent and $500,000 to Lisa Avent for distress. In their closing arguments, Meehan had suggested the jury award $5 million to the couple, and Simmons suggested the awarded amount be $325,000. “We’re not happy with the 15 percent, but I could live with it,” Meehan said. “The number is big enough, so we’re happy. And now it’s a matter of getting this company to pay.” A separate lawsuit is ongoing to determine which of the company’s three insurance plans may need to cover Avent’s claim. Blue Arrow’s attorneys declined to comment on the verdict, or whether or not the company will appeal the decision. In the meantime, Meehan said his clients will begin a “multi-front collection effort,” to get the claim from insurance companies and possibly garnish the company’s accounts. John Wilbers, founder and chairman of Blue Arrow, was not present at the verdict because he was attending his mother’s funeral. Wilbers, a personal injury attorney in St. Louis, started Blue Arrow with his mother, Kathy, who was the majority owner of the two cultivation, one manufacturing and one dispensary licenses the state awarded them in 2019, according records obtained from the Missouri Division of Cannabis Regulation. Wilbers told The Independent Tuesday said he intends to take care of Avent. “If somebody’s injured, we’re going to help them,” he said. After the lab accident, Avent was taken to the emergency room and lost consciousness in the ambulance. Doctors inserted a stent in his heart to save him, Meehan said, and he still hasn’t fully recovered four years later. On top of his ongoing medical bills, Meehan said Avent has lost at least $130,000 a year in income because he can no longer work in the marijuana industry. Mark and Lisa Avent said after the four-day trial that they were exhausted but relieved. They initially filed the lawsuit nearly three years ago. “We’re just glad it’s over,” he said.

“We didn’t ban potatoes just because someone turned them into moonshine. We regulate alcohol. We should do the same with hemp.” By Mike Simpson, Lovewell Farms via Rhode Island Current I co-founded Lovewell Farms, Rhode Island’s only USDA-certified organic hemp farm in 2018. Since 2019, we’ve been growing legal hemp outdoors, using natural ethanol extraction and creating safe, full-spectrum CBD products like tinctures, salves and gummies—all lab-tested, adult-use only and compliant with some of the strictest regulations and THC limits in the country. Our mission is simple: to make non-intoxicating, plant-based wellness options accessible. We’re not trying to get people high, we’re trying to help them feel better. But last week, Congress quietly passed H.R. 5371, a government funding bill that redefines hemp so narrowly it could effectively ban most full-spectrum CBD products, even those that are non-intoxicating, naturally extracted and legally sold under state law. The bill criminalizes any product with more than 0.4 milligrams of THC or THCA, and even targets products extracted “outside the plant,” including widely used, safe methods like ethanol distillation. What this definition ignores is botanical reality: It is virtually impossible to grow a CBD-rich hemp plant with absolutely zero THC. All cannabis plants, including federally legal hemp, naturally produce trace amounts of THC; it’s part of the plant’s chemistry. These trace levels are not enough to cause intoxication, especially when balanced by a dominant cannabinoid like CBD. Full-spectrum products rely on these naturally occurring compounds to work effectively and safely, not to get anyone high. So, what’s the result? Tens of thousands of compliant hemp businesses, including ours, could be shut down. Not for breaking the rules, but for following them. This isn’t science-based regulation. It’s 21st-century reefer madness. According to Reuters, the U.S. was already losing over 11,000 jobs per week as of October. Now, an additional 300,000 hemp industry jobs, from farmers to retailers to manufacturers, could disappear by 2027, threatening a $28 billion market. Even more frustrating: while the bill includes a one-year delay on enforcement and mandates a federal study by the FDA and USDA, it still amounts to a “ban now, ask questions later” approach. Unlike here in Rhode Island, where regulators kept regulations the same while a state-led study is underway, the federal law already rewrites the definition of hemp, locking in penalties before the study is even complete. For farmers like us, a year isn’t enough time. We make seed purchases in March, plant in April and harvest in October. If the ban takes effect in November 2026, we could be forced to destroy our entire crop at the end of next season, despite following all the rules. That’s not a transition plan, it’s a trap. At minimum, Congress should delay enforcement by 720 days to accommodate real-world timelines of agriculture. Rhode Island’s current rules already require lab testing, child-resistant packaging, adult-only sales and labeling that mirrors the state’s medical program. Yet our attorney general, Peter Neronha, signed a letter to congressional leaders describing the entire industry as “unregulated” and “marketed to children.” That’s simply not true, is deeply misleading to the public and harms compliant, state-licensed family farms like ours. In Rhode Island, the state requires customers to prove they are 21 -years old, and meet the same exact testing, packaging, and label requirements as the regulated adult-use and medical cannabis programs. The letter goes even further to claim that hemp-derived THC products “kill children.” In reality, only two isolated independent case reports exist linking child deaths to cannabis ingestion, and both involved illicit, unregulated products, infants and in one case, additional substances such as fentanyl and ketamine. These tragedies are not connected to regulated hemp products. A broad ban wouldn’t prevent harm; it would push the market underground, where unregulated products are more likely to pose real risks. Responsible regulation is what keeps children and consumers safe. That’s what we already have in Rhode Island, and it works. To date, there is no record of a single cannabis-related death, of a child, infant or adult, in the state. The letter Neronha and 38 other attorneys general signed also makes the claim that hemp-derived gummies and beverages are “designed to appeal to young children.” By that logic, the same could be said of alcoholic drinks like hard seltzers, which are often sweetened, fruit-flavored and brightly packaged. Yet alcohol wasn’t banned, likely because that industry is larger, older and has more powerful lobbyists. We didn’t ban potatoes just because someone turned them into moonshine. We regulate alcohol. We should do the same with hemp. Despite calls from farmers and small business owners across the state, both of Rhode Island’s U.S. senators, Democrats Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse, voted to keep the ban language in the bill, citing Neronha’s falsehood-ridden letter as justification. Thankfully, Rhode Island’s Democratic Reps. Seth Magaziner and Gabe Amo, both voted no on the corresponding House bill, though it still ultimately passed. We still have time to fix this, but only if the public speaks up. The bill allows for a year before implementation. That’s one year for advocacy, education and science to lead the way. Congress should be going after bad actors, not punishing compliant small farmers who follow the law, protect public health and provide plant-based wellness alternatives to pharmaceuticals. This isn’t a partisan issue. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, from progressive Democrats to conservative Republicans, have expressed concern about the impact of this hemp ban. That’s because it affects real people in every state: farmers, veterans, small business owners and families looking for natural relief. We need smart, bipartisan solutions, not rushed overreach that punishes the compliant. We don’t need another war on cannabis. We need honest, evidence-based legislation.

“I just don’t understand why they thought that prohibition would be the right answer.” By Isiah Holmes, Wisconsin Examiner When Jacob Diener first heard that the status of hemp could be reviewed, he wasn’t too concerned. With his company, A Good Plug, the 32-year-old expected to continue producing small batch hemp products like gummies, brownies and cheesecakes. “It seems around this time it happens every year that they want to re-assess the Farm Bill,” Diener told the Wisconsin Examiner. But 2025 was different and Diener, like others across the industry, was caught off guard when what amounted to a prohibition on his livelihood was discreetly attached to a deal to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. “It’s just weird and scary,” he said. Hemp businesses were allowed to flourish after the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, which legalized the production and distribution of hemp products with no more than 0.3 percent THC on a dry weight basis. But under new rules that were included in the stopgap spending bill ending the federal government shutdown last week, products must contain no more than 0.4 milligrams of THC per container. Steve Hampton, owner of the Eau Claire-based company Steve’s Hemp, says that standard is biologically impossible to meet. “[The] hemp plant struggles to grow to meet that guideline before it’s even harvested,” Hampton told the Wisconsin Examiner. “So, we’re seeing upwards to 99 percent of the industry get wiped out from this.” THC is the primary psychoactive compound in the cannabis plant. Although hemp and the psychoactive variety commonly known as marijuana are the same plant species, they have different chemical compositions. Many cannabis varieties are cultivated with high levels of THC for markets in states where the plant has been legalized medical or recreational. Hemp, with far lower concentrations of THC, is mostly used for rope, paper and industrial products. It is also offered in states that do not have legal cannabis markets as an alternative—a source for products containing delta-9 THC, THCa, THCp and other derivatives. The law reopening the government, however, effectively bans those products and gives the industry until next November to adapt or fizzle out. Erin Kelly, owner of the Wauwatosa-based hemp goods store Kelly’s Greens, told TMJ4 that even CBD products contain trace amounts of THC which make them effective medicine, and that the new rules would render that medicine ineffective. Wisconsin’s hemp industry is estimated to be valued at $700 million and accounts for at least 3,500 jobs, according to the Wisconsin State Journal. “Everybody’s frantic, you know, we’re all worried,” Hampton told the Examiner. Without an amendment to the new rules or legislative intervention, Hampton says the nation’s $28.4 billion hemp industry won’t survive, and that most of his own store’s inventory would be banned. More than just a cash crop When he was a teenager in Fond du Lac, Diener was introduced to cannabis through his grandmother, who used it to manage her pain and chronic illnesses. He began using it to help with his stress and the early signs of Crohn’s disease he was experiencing After years of working in the restaurant industry, Diener realized he wanted more out of life. “And so I started to get permission from my chef to start making candy in the kitchen behind the scenes, just learning the basics, but with the intentions that I wanted to make infused candy, gummy worms, stuff like that,” he said. “Stuff that I didn’t see on the market at the time.” Hampton also became involved in hemp after experiencing the medicinal value of the plant. “I was a college student at the time,” he said, “and was looking for some relief with some back pain, some sore muscles from the gym. And my dad had actually bought me some CBD oil to test out for my birthday. And it was from a local farm up here in northern Wisconsin. That helped me a ton with what I needed it for.” Hampton realized that there were not many such products marketed to younger people like him. He grew his business online before opening a storefront during Small Business Week in 2021. Today Hampton, 29, owns and operates his business alongside his wife and five employees. People of all ages come into his store. “In-store, we have a lot of customers who come in just looking for relief,” he said. Many of the customers are seeking a remedy for anxiety, as well as “a large handful of customers that have chronic pain,” he said. Steve’s Hemp carries flowers, vapes, gummies, candies, topical ointments and other products. Diener, who specializes in culinary cannabis products, makes everything from Nerds-covered gummies (a popular product he calls “Stoney Bites”) to other sweets. Diener describes his customers as “such a community of oddballs and people who have unique personalities. And that’s what I’ve always hoped for, and that’s kind of what I come from and who I am a person. People authentic to themselves.” The cost of prohibition Before the federal ban on THC-derived hemp products was added to the bill to reopen the government, Republican lawmakers in Wisconsin were already working on bills to restrict or prohibit the industry in the state. Representatives Lindee Brill (R-Sheboygan Falls), Jim Piwowarczyk (R-Hubertus) and others introduced what they called “a common-sense corrective bill” to close the “loophole” that allowed what they called “dangerous, psychoactive THC-laced products to proliferate in Wisconsin.” The lawmakers pointed to health advisory warnings issued by federal agencies about the use of delta-9 THC, and issues with unregulated markets across the country. In Wisconsin, hemp products from CBD to delta-9, HHH, THCa, and others can either be found at dispensaries where employees are often knowledgeable about their products, or at gas stations and smoke shops where customers don’t receive information and guidance. Wisconsin lawmakers have raised an alarm about emergency room visits and poison center calls linked to delta-8 THC and similar compounds, as well as concerns that children could easily purchase the products. Hemp business owners say they often applaud common sense regulation. They also support fully legalizing cannabis in Wisconsin—ending prohibition. To address concerns about health consequences and children’s access to cannabis, “what would really help that is regulation, not prohibition,” Hampton said. Everything from clear packaging guidelines to age restrictions, lab testing and education about where the product comes from and what it does could be part of a legal regulatory structure, Hampton argued. Rather than allowing any gas station to carry hemp products, Hampton would like to see licensed facilities staffed by people who care about what they’re doing. “Our main goal with this business was to educate our customers, and know what’s in our product, and recommend what would work best for our customer,” he said. One 2024 study analyzing national poison data systems found that between 2021 and 2022, reports of exposure to delta-8 THC increased by 79 percent. The study also found that poison center calls for delta-8 were significantly lower in places where either delta-THC was banned, or where cannabis use was already legalized. “Consistent regulation of delta-THC across all states should be adopted,” the study recommended. Other poison center data shows that since 2022, exposures to delta-8 THC have plummeted, a trend which has continued into 2025. Prohibition also creates economic stagnation, advocates contend. Tim Frey, of Ignite Dispensary and Cigar calls it “Wisconsin’s half a billion dollar loss.” Frey lobbied against state Republican bills to restrict hemp, and he argues that hundreds of millions are essentially handed over to Michigan and Illinois every year when Wisconsinites make the sometimes difficult decision to travel across state lines to obtain cannabis. “Now that Minnesota is opening up, with the largest border, we’re probably going to be losing approximately up to $200 million,” Frey told Wisconsin Examiner. “And then if they came up with a small tax on hemp-derived stuff, that’s easily $100 million there, if not more, give or take. So it’s going to be around half a billion dollars that Wisconsin could use to give to law enforcement, get fentanyl off our streets, reduce property taxes, invest in roads” and other uses. Hampton fears that now customers will go to the black market or risk being pulled over after driving to a neighboring state. “I just don’t understand why they thought that prohibition would be the right answer,” he said. As some Wisconsin legislators are working to enact a new prohibition on hemp products, others are trying to legalize medicinal THC cannabis in the state. Earlier this year, two-thirds of registered voters polled by Marquette Law School said that cannabis should be legalized in Wisconsin. Meanwhile, Republican lawmakers have introduced what would be one of the country’s most restrictive medicinal cannabis programs. Frey is cautious of the medical-cannabis-only approach, however, “because it’s very hard to qualify with some ailments,” he told the Wisconsin Examiner. He added that if Wisconsin passed a restrictive medical cannabis program, then it would open the door for the state’s indigenous tribal communities, as sovereign nations, to open their own recreational programs. “So then we would be a recreational state without the control, or the revenue,” he said. Diener said that when conservative lawmakers talk about cannabis, they sound at least 10 years behind the times. “I think that right now there’s such extreme viewpoints on it that are outdated, and really just don’t line up with today’s market or today’s values with the plant,” he said. Frey believes that it’s past time Wisconsin had a serious discussion about legalization. “Limit the licenses,” he declared. “Control this, tax it, get licenses out there to responsible people that are going to do things the right way—that card people, that do truth-in labeling, that care about the quality of their products.” In addition to strict regulation, Diener said parents can protect their children from hemp products instead of the government banning them. “You have the responsibility just the same as if you have a gun in the home to keep your things in a safe space that your children cannot access,” Diener said. “You wouldn’t have your alcohol bottle sitting just, like, within reach or in a cupboard that your kids know they can access. Even growing up as a teen, when my mom knew that I was starting to go to parties and stuff, she would start to hide her alcohol.” After the federal hemp laws were changed, Piwowarczyk, in a television interview, said unsympathetically of hemp business owners that “you guys took a gamble when you decided to open up your hemp business.” Hampton counters that lawmakers like Piwowarczyk should “open their eyes, and look around, and actually meet with the constituents of their districts” who are the consumers driving the industry. Uneasy months ahead For now, hemp distributors and their allies have until next November to adjust to the new federal restrictions. Frey said Wisconsin could provide some protection for the industry by enacting its own regulations for hemp products, similar to the way states have legalized cannabis industries despite the ongoing federal prohibition. There are already state-level legislative responses in the works, he said. One bill, AB 503, would redefine the definition of hemp to prohibit THC-derived products. Another, AB 606, would add hemp to the responsibilities of the agency in the Department of Revenue that regulates alcohol. A bill authored by Senate Democrats, SB 644, would create a regulated framework and age limits for hemp products, though it lacks Republican co-sponsors. Sen. Patrick Testin (R-Stevens Point) is circulating a draft bill for co-sponsorship that also regulates hemp products. “That bill is probably the best, most common-sense written bill that I’ve seen,” Frey told the Wisconsin Examiner. While the Democratic bill would be promising, he said, he thinks it won’t gain Republican support. “It’s more crucial to protect this industry in Wisconsin than it is to craft the most perfect bill,” said Frey, adding that he thinks the hemp industry will get behind Testin’s bill “full force”. At the same time, however, Frey wonders whether the federal regulations will change by next November. He points out that the new law gives the industry a year to adapt instead of imposing a ban immediately. Frey thinks that if Wisconsin passes hemp regulations but the federal laws remain the same, then the hemp industry would risk losing its federal task deductions and also lose the ability to conduct interstate commerce. If there is no change to save the hemp industry, a cascade of effects will ripple out. Earlier this year, Hampton opened a new manufacturing facility just down the street from the Steve’s Hemp storefront. In the middle of next year, he will likely have to close that as well, he said. Once the new law takes effect, “our hands are pretty much tied,” said Hampton. “My wife and I will have to find new jobs for each other, continue to make ends meet. And then those families that work for us—those employees that work for us—will have to do the same.” Until then, Diener said, “I am going to continue to serve the people who need us the most and work to continue growing this dream and keeping this dream alive.” Hampton and his employees “are obsessed and passionate about this industry,” Hampton said. “We started this industry with hopes to run a legal dispensary out of Wisconsin, and hopefully transition into that. Now that plan is crushed. And so we don’t know what we’re going to do. We’re just going to try to keep our hopes up, and try to fight as much as we can to keep [hemp] legal, and if that isn’t possible, get recreational cannabis pushed through the state of Wisconsin.” This story was first published by Wisconsin Examiner.

“We’ll continue to watch to make sure that public safety is being served across the state and to make sure that the business needs of consumers are being addressed.” By Jacob Owens and Karl Baker, Spotlight Delaware Less than three months after Gov. Matt Meyer (D) vetoed legislation to override Sussex County’s restrictions on recreational marijuana businesses, the county council has amended its zoning rules for them—but it’s unclear whether those changes will make a meaningful difference in the industry’s growth in southern Delaware. Meyer controversially vetoed a bill advanced by his fellow Democrats in the statehouse to loosen the reins on where marijuana dispensaries could locate. The governor cited concerns over subverting local control on zoning issues, and instead proposed a deal. If Sussex County removed its conditional use requirement for marijuana retail shops, which gives county leaders wide latitude over where to allow such storefronts, and reduced buffer requirements for them, he would advocate for sending 4.5 percent of marijuana sales tax proceeds to the county or municipality in which a marijuana business is located. On Tuesday, the Sussex County Council voted 4-1–Councilman John Rieley was the lone dissenter, expressing concern with marijuana use overall–to amend its zoning code to remove conditional use requirements for both the C2 (General Commercial) and C3 (Medium Commercial) zones. It also lowered the required buffer between a retail shop and the boundaries of towns or cities to from 3 miles to a half mile. However, the county retained 3-mile buffers between marijuana dispensaries and between a dispensary and any church, school, college or substance abuse treatment facility. Meyer told Spotlight Delaware on Wednesday that the amendments were a “good step forward.” “I don’t think in Dover we should be saying that in Fenwick Island or in Claymont, you have to allow a marijuana store 500 feet from elementary school,” he said. “We’ll continue to watch to make sure that public safety is being served across the state and to make sure that the business needs of consumers are being addressed.” Meanwhile, Democratic statehouse leaders had committed to attempting to override Meyer’s veto when they returned to Dover in January. It would require nearly all Democratic lawmakers to back that effort to clear the three-fifths threshold, assuming all Republicans deny it. A request for comment to State Sen. Trey Paradee (D-Dover), who sponsored a bill to overrule Sussex County’s zoning and lower buffers to 500 feet, on whether Sussex County’s amendments may avert that effort was not returned Wednesday night. He was among legislators who met Wednesday in Dover for an extraordinary session on corporate tax reform. Few obvious areas Before their vote, Sussex County Councilwoman Jane Gruenebaum asked whether, in lieu of the continued restrictions, it was “still plausible to find a space to have a store?” Assistant County Attorney Vince Robertson replied that he hadn’t checked to see whether the amendments would open any new property to such use. He noted that Sussex County has very little C2 or C3 zoned land because it’s a relatively new designation That means if a parcel could not meet the buffer requirements, an operator may have to look at rezoning a parcel that could, starting a more onerous and time-intensive process. “If that sort of sounds like I’m dodging your question, and I am to some extent, it’s because we haven’t looked at every property in the county,” Robertson said, noting they also did not examine how the proposal compared to other counties in Delaware. Spotlight Delaware did review Sussex County’s zoning map to try to identify parcels that could now be developed for marijuana businesses. Many of the C2 or C3 parcels identified, however, would seemingly be prohibited for use because of the buffers. In particular, the buffer required between marijuana dispensaries and churches would be difficult to overcome because of the sheer prevalence of churches in the county. In fact, a single church in Harbeson would prevent a half dozen C2 or C3 zoned sites off Route 9 from being used for marijuana businesses, according to Spotlight Delaware’s analysis. Several eligible parcels between Cave Neck Road and Nassau Road along Route 1 would likewise be prohibited due to several nearby churches on the highway. The same is the case for parcels near the intersection of Josephs Road and Route 9. Robertson said Sussex County chose the 3-mile buffer when it passed its original zoning ordinance in 2024 because that is the buffer required by state code to separate liquor stores. Seeking to mimic that code for limits between marijuana stores, the county council also sought uniformity in its buffers between municipal limits and sensitive places like churches, schools, colleges and substance abuse treatment facilities. “Rather than come up with just different arbitrary numbers for each one, we relied upon the 3 miles that was in state code for the separation distance from stores to stores,” Robertson told the council Tuesday. The limits on zoning will not affect the five recreational dispensaries currently operating in Sussex County, as they were grandfathered in under conversion licenses from medical marijuana dispensaries, but they will upend dozens of new entrepreneurs looking to enter the legal recreational market. For Louise Shelton, who has already spent several thousand dollars to acquire a social equity cultivation license for Sussex County, the new amendments have left her frustrated. She appreciated the council’s easing of regulations in certain zonings, but noted that the buffering is what has largely prevented her from finding anywhere to set up shop. Shelton had hoped to co-locate her growing facility on a plot of land along with a separate retail shop, but she’s been informed that isn’t permitted either. She has been working with a realtor to identify potential locations for her facility, but even with the latest changes, Shelton said, “It’s not looking up.” Licensees have 18 months from the issuance of their license to start operations or risk losing their business back to the state’s lottery system. Shelton got her license in September, meaning her clock has started ticking and having to undergo a lengthy rezoning process is unlikely to meet her needs. If she doesn’t find a suitable space, she told Spotlight Delaware that she plans to request a license transfer with the Office of the Marijuana Commissioner to move it to Kent County.
