Following the 2018 Farm Bill, the biggest issue facing the hemp industry is local law enforcement. Despite hemp and CBD products being legal in Tennessee, local law enforcement officers continue to arrest individuals for growing, transporting, possessing and/or selling hemp and CBD products. Additionally, law enforcement officers are seizing shipments of hemp and CBD products claiming confusion with marijuana.

HLG attorneys will provide legal representation for any criminal offenses related to hemp and CBD products, including but not limited to:

• Simple Possession
• Possession with Intent: Manufacture, Delivery or Sale
• Drug Paraphernalia
• Drug Seizure
• Conspiracy
• Criminal Seizures

HLG Attorney Fuson is an experienced criminal defense attorney who has spent his legal career defending individuals with marijuana related criminal charges. With the increase in production of legal hemp in Tennessee, and the signing of the 2018 Farm Bill, more businesses will be using the Tennessee interstates to transport hemp and CBD products. Business and individuals will also be using the postal service to ship hemp and CBD products. This increase in traffic, coupled with a lack of education, will necessitate an experienced attorney.
