Governor Gavin Newsom on Friday introduced new emergency regulations that will restrict the sale of intoxicating hemp products that are being sold outside of dispensaries with no age restrictions due to loopholes in California law.
The announcement of the emergency regulations came at a press conference the governor held with California Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly, who just announced Friday morning he would be leaving his position at the end of the month.Officials said that the new rules would focus on protecting the public, particularly children, from the adverse health effects of intoxicating hemp food and beverages products.
'None of us expected the kind of exploitation that we've experienced in the hemp industry,' Newsom said. What we're doing today, as relates to emergency regulations, is because of that exploitation, because of the greed of many folks in the industry.'The governor gestured to a table full of edibles and beverages that he said were purchased at grocery and convenience stores that contained intoxicating cannabinoids and could be purchased by anyone with no age limit.
