Delta-8 Updates
Last week, we featured three states’ different approaches to regulating delta-8 THC. One of the bills, HB 1054—South Dakota’s attempt to prohibit and criminalize D8—failed in committee. A new bill in Hawaii, HB 1886, is similar to South Dakota’s unsuccessful effort in that it adds D8 to the definition of THC and prohibits selling any hemp product that contains a cannabinoid created through isomerization.
In Indiana, SB 209 narrows the definitions of hemp product and low THC hemp extract by referring to total THC instead of delta-9 THC. The bill adds isomers, salts, and salts of isomers to the definition of synthetic drug, and is being viewed as targeting D8.
The Roundtable has not taken a position yet on any D8 bills, and we’d love to hear your thoughts. Please let us know through the link below. |
