The proposal would effectively recriminalize a wide range of h**p-derived products by capping total THC content at just 0.4 milligrams per product, a threshold that would outlaw most items currently sold in gas stations, convenience stores, and online marketplaces.
Hemp-derived THC products have proliferated across the U.S. following the legalization of h**p via the 2018 farm bill.
The measure would rewrite the federal definition of legal h**p.
That law allowed h**p to contain up to 0.3% delta-9 THC on a dry-weight basis.
The new language replaces that limit with a cap applying to total THC, including delta-8, delta-10, and any other cannabinoid with intoxicating effects. It would also prohibit any h**p-derived cannabinoid that is manufactured outside the plant’s natural processes.
