Asheville - An Asheville industrial hemp distributor was reassuring a crowd at THE BLOCK off biltmore that the federal government was not making the product illegal on Wednesday. That's according to our affiliate WLOS.

Brian Bullman, a co-founder Carolina Hemp Company, spoke after the Drug Enforcement Administration announcement about tracking marijuana extracts.

Simply, Bullman told WLOS nothing was made illegal that was not already illegal.

"DEA spokespeople have clearly stated that this was an internal record-keeping agenda," Bullman said. "It just really got blown out of proportion."

According to the federal government, Cannabis is illegal, and industrial hemp is legal, even though they come from the same plant.

"Industrial hemp was legally identified in the 2014 farm bill as cannabis that has less than .3 percent THC," Bullman said.

WLOS says that once a month THE BLOCK off biltmore holds a "Wednesday Hemp Day" event, where an educational open house is held about hemp.
