Starting in July, Hawaii will begin earnestly enforcing some of the strictest hemp regulations in the country. One dispensary owner is suing to stop it.
Lance Alyas, a Hawaii resident who owns four hemp dispensaries, alleges that the state's hemp laws violate "federal constitutional and statutory law, including the Supremacy Clause, the Dormant Commerce Clause, and the Due Process Clause." Alyas tells Reason he's the victim of "selective regulation" by state officials who favor the medical marijuana industry over hemp.
