Can I get arrested or fail a drug test because of legal hemp in Tennessee?
Erica Fortson, who smokes legal hemp flower, said she feels much safer buying legal products than she did buying illegal marijuana.
“This keeps me off the streets,” Fortson said in an interview at Grass Roots in Chattanooga. “It was getting hard to find good quality stuff, and you’re taking a chance with it.”
As long as customers keep the packaging from hemp products they buy legally in Tennessee, they shouldn’t have to worry about being arrested, store owners say.
