Gov. Gavin Newsoms proposed emergency restrictions, which, among other
things, prohibit any detectable THC from being present in hemp products,
were approved by the states Office of Administrative Law on Monday, state
officials confirmed to KTLA.
With the restrictions in place, retailers are now prohibited from selling
products made with hemp THC, an intoxicating cannabis compound, and
various types of medicinal products made with CBD, a nonintoxicating
compound, according to SFGate.
The new regulations now require consumers to be 21 years old or older to
purchase hemp products and additional cannabinoids intended for human
consumption and limit the serving size to five.
Gov. Newsom signs bill requiring schools to restrict, prohibit student
cell phone use
Newsom proposed the restrictions earlier this month, citing an urgent need
to protect children.
We will not sit on our hands as drug peddlers target our children with
dangerous and unregulated hemp products containing THC at our retail
stores. Were taking action to close loopholes and increase enforcement to
prevent children from accessing these dangerous hemp and cannabis
products, Newsom said in a statement.
Newsom said the lax rules have made it easier for kids to access
intoxicating hemp-based products, which are typically sold at liquor
outlets, gas stations and smoke shops, according to the Los Angeles Times.
However, critics told SFGate that the Newsom administration was abusing
the emergency rulemaking process to pass the hemp THC ban and that banning
hemp THC would have disastrous effects on medical patients who rely on
hemp to treat a wide range of health conditions.
According to the publication, the new regulations will be effective until
March 25, 2025.
A bill attempted to further regulate the hemp industry failed in the state
Legislature, according to the Los Angeles Times.
