ANN ARBOR – MITechNews.Com has launched a new streaming video show that will focus on the latest headliens from the Michigan adult-legal cannabis industry and the hemp market that provides gummies and tinctures that many people use to sleep better or mitigate pain.
The co-hosts are Mike Brennan, editor of MITechNews, and Tim Beck, a long-time cannabis activist, who moderates a Google group community called the Safer Michigan Coalition.
Our first guest is Blain Bechtold, president of the Industrial Hemp Association of Michigan, more commonly called iHemp.
Topics include a move by Congress to ban most consummed help products by November, which would all but destroy a national hemp industry that generates almost $14 billion a year.
Another topic was the February adult-legal cannabis sales in Michigan that reached $234.6 million, up slightly from January’s sharp drop. But sales remain down sharply from a year ago, extending a trend that began in 2025.
