Vince Sanders and the Impact of FDA Inaction on Hemp at Retail

With hemp being legalized only recently, legal and regulatory regimes concerning the crop and its products such as CBD are continually evolving.  Jonathan Miller, who helped craft much of federal and state hemp laws in his role as General Counsel of the US Hemp Roundtable, hosts a biweekly podcast in which he engages in 15-20 minute discussions of cutting-edge legal issues facing the industry.  Jonathan speaks on each program with subject matter experts from Frost Brown Todd’s nationally leading hemp practice group.
