The complicated and controversial politics of hemp and marijuana

On this week's show, host Tim Boyum and investigative reporter Jeffrey Billman get into the controversial world of hemp and marijuana.  Marijuana remains illegal in North Carolina, yet THC-infused products are legal in what is termed the "wild west" of hemp.  Billman shares what he learned from his three-part investigation for "The Assembly" into the complicated controversy that surrounds the industry, the politics and the legal system.
