I'm not sure what hemp ban you are referring to.
What I can say is that my state legalized cannabis... kinda sorta.
They passed laws to make consumption legal, whether medically or recreationally. However, they never bothered to pass laws to make a legal avenue to buying it. So, you can smoke it, you can carry up to an ounce in public without repercussions, BUT you cannot legally buy it to do those things with.
Likewise with growing. Kinda sorta.
You can legally grow up to 4 plants, which is a pittance really. However, there is no means to legally buy the seeds to grow it FROM.
The law here is silent on how much you can possess within your own home, which means there is no limit really for home possession, but out on the street you can only possess up to an ounce without getting a visit to the crossbar hotel.
It really feels like the cannabis laws here were a little less than an afterthought. It seems that they wanted to pander to cannabis folks to get their vote, but not enough to actually implement the abilities in the real world that they authorized on paper.
The Democrats got back into supreme power here in the last election, but rather than concentrating on fixing the deficiencies in the cannabis laws that they created last time, they instead elected to tax the living shit out of everything else, and on disarming the citizens. Not even a whimper in the legislative session about the broken cannabis laws they created crippled.
I guess we all have our priorities, and making folks' lives better is not their priority.
