The Overlook with Matt Peiken

Weeding Out an Industry | Daniel Walton of Mountain Xpress

Matt Peiken Episode 41

Despite Asheville’s leafy reputation, Western North Carolina doesn’t exactly have a robust farming industry for hemp. Daniel Walton, formerly a staff writer and now regular contributor to Mountain Xpress, talks with Matt Peiken about his recent coverage of the region's hemp industry, where the state legislature stands around the legalization of marijuana and how that legalization would affect the hemp and CBD retail markets.
