Why Are So Many California Cannabis Companies Switching To Hemp Products?
Portfolio Pulse from Rolando García
California cannabis companies are shifting to the less regulated hemp market due to high taxes and strict regulations in the cannabis sector. Companies like Green Bee Botanicals and Sunstone Winery have rebranded their products to hemp, benefiting from lower taxes and broader market reach. Larger companies like Glass House Brands and Curaleaf Holdings are also considering or have entered the hemp market. The California Senate recently halted a bill that would impose stricter THC limits, highlighting the ongoing tension between the cannabis and hemp industries.
