Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed new regulations on Friday aimed at keeping children from consuming hemp products that contain intoxicating levels of THC.
Gov. Gavin Newsom has proposed emergency regulations aimed at reining in the manufacture and sale of illegal hemp products that contain intoxicating cannabinoids such as THC. The new rules would close loopholes that manufacturers in the 'intoxicating hemp' industry have exploited to skirt restrictions on hemp products, allowing them to sell consumable goods with heavily inebriating effects, Newsom’s office said in a statement Friday morning.
State and local law enforcement agencies and state regulatory agencies including the departments of Public Health, Cannabis Control, Alcoholic Beverage Control, and Tax and Fee Administration will immediately begin enforcing the new rules after they are approved, according to Newsom’s statement. The governor introduced the proposed regulations weeks after Assembly Bill 2223, a state bill that would have instituted similar changes, died in committee.
