The state of Maine cannot seem to get it right when it comes to hemp and CBD. This is a fast-growing industry with enormous potential for Maine, but state regulators are constantly rewriting the rules, sending threatening letters and upending an industry that should be regulated, of course, but should also be encouraged.

CBD (or cannabidiol) is a compound extracted from the hemp plant that is widely available across Maine and the U.S.

Two weeks ago, the Sun Sentinel published an opinion letter from Howard Tescher about the Broward County Health Pilot Project.

Campus protests a sad time for America | Letters to the editor
South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Sunday - 05/05/2024 - 05:00 AM
I believe the nationwide student protests at colleges and universities were instigated by external anti-Israel, antisemitic forces. Where is the FBI in all of this? Where are the college administrators who should demand photo IDs from the real students and separate them from non-students?
