An influential U.S. Senate committee on Wednesday voted to advance funding legislation and attached report language that encourages the federal government to reconsider “arbitrary” THC restrictions on hemp and continue efforts to develop a regulatory pathway for CBD products.

According to a memo Weinstein and Upchurch sent to fellow House…

Vega is one of many Connecticut residents…
