TAMPA, Fla. (FOX 13) – A new Florida law legalizing hemp is making it harder for law enforcement to arrest someone for marijuana possession because hemp and marijuana plants are difficult to distinguish. “Even if they smell what they believe to be marijuana and they test it and it comes out positive for marijuana that is not necessarily going to be as efficient to establish that a crime has been committed,” Chamberlin said. “I envision that the state attorney’s offices around the state are going to have far fewer possession of marijuana prosecutions,” Chamberlin said.
