This year, Indiana, Louisiana and Texas banned smokable hemp entirely, while Kansas banned products including hemp cigarettes and cigars. North Carolina's House is considering a smokable hemp ban after it recently passed the state Senate. North Carolina law enforcement wants the ban, saying officers have no way of distinguishing smokable hemp from marijuana. Second-year hemp farmer Lori Lacy, who has invested more than $190,000 on her 13-acre Franklin hemp farm, said she can make $1,000 for a pound of smokable hemp flower. Smokable hemp is lucrative partly because farmers just need to dry the hemp flowers.
