RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper signed legislation on Thursday that keeps the state's burgeoning hemp industry operating lawfully. The General Assembly had given final approval Wednesday to language that would make hemp products for industrial use and others with personal care uses like CBD permanently exempt from the state's list of illegal drugs. Such language was required by the end of June so that North Carolina growers could keep participatng in a production program run by the U.
