RIGHT NOW. A LOCAL BUSINESS OWNER SAYS SHE’S CLOSING ONE OF HER CBD SHOPS AFTER GOVERNOR KIM REYNOLDS SIGNED A BILL CAPPING THE AMOUNT OF THC ALLOWED IN IOWA PRODUCTS. ����vlog IS PEPPER PURPURA SPOKE WITH HER ABOUT WHY SHE SAYS THE NEW RULES WILL DEVASTATE HER BUSINESS. PEPPER. OKAY, STARTING ON JULY 1ST, THE PRODUCTS CONTAINING THC CAN’T EXCEED TEN MILLIGRAMS PER CONTAINER AND FOUR MILLIGRAMS PER SERVING. NEW LAW ALSO BARS ANYONE UNDER 21 FROM BUYING THC PRODUCTS, BUT ONE CBD. CBD SHOP OWNER SAYS THOSE RULES ARE A THREAT TO HER BUSINESS. WHAT THEY’VE MADE ILLEGAL, EFFECTIVE JULY 1ST, IS ABOUT 80% OF OUR OUR REVENUE TO A CENTRAL IOWA BUSINESS OWNER, SAYS SHE’S SCRAMBLING TO KEEP HER BUSINESS AFLOAT AHEAD OF A NEW LAW. FURIOUS. TO BE HONEST, I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO TAKE PRODUCTS THAT HELP PEOPLE. MOST OF THE PRODUCTS ON YOUR SCREEN NOW EXCEED HOW MUCH THC THE NEW LAW SAYS THEY ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE, BUT THEY ALSO MAKE UP A MAJORITY OF ASHLEY POWELL’S SALES. IF I HAD ANY OTHER OPTION, I WOULD GO TO ANOTHER STATE. A STATEMENT FROM GOVERNOR REYNOLDS OFFICE SAYS SHE HAS CONCERNS ABOUT THE NEW LAW, BUT SIGNED IT TO PROTECT CHILDREN FROM WHAT SHE SAYS ARE DANGEROUS PRODUCTS TO GET AHEAD OF THE REVENUE, POWELL EXPECTS TO LOSE, SHE’S PUSHING MORE POPULAR PRODUCTS. WE’RE REALLY COUNTING ON THE THC BEVERAGES GOING FORWARD BECAUSE MOST OF THE EDIBLES WON’T BE LEGAL IN IOWA, AND TRYING TO REPLACE THE ITEMS THOUSANDS VISIT HER FOR. THERE IS NO PSYCHOACTIVE EFFECTS TO THIS. PEOPLE DEPEND ON IT AND RELY ON THIS EVERY DAY. AND NOW THEY WON’T BE ABLE TO GET IT. SO WHAT THEY’LL HAVE TO DO IS GET THE 300 MILLIGRAM ONE AND THEY’RE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO BUY TWO OF THEM. BUT EVEN WITH THE CHANGES, POWELL SAYS SHE WILL BE CLOSING ONE OF HER STORES IN INDIANOLA. WE’RE KIND OF COUNTING ON THOSE THINGS TO KEEP US AFLOAT, BUT IT’S IT’S GOING TO BE REALLY TOUGH. GOVERNOR REYNOLDS SAYS THE STATE HAS ENSURED CHILDREN RESISTANT TO MEDICATIONS WHO SUFFER FROM SEIZURES AND OTHER MEDICAL CONDITIONS WILL STILL HAVE ACCESS TO CONSUMABLE HEMP ALTERNATIVES. POWE
