Federal Hemp Regulation Bill Would Regulate Intoxicating Hemp Like Alcohol

Rep. Greg Landsman and bipartisan colleagues introduced a bill that would regulate intoxicating hemp products like alcohol, including a 5 mg THC-per-serving cap while preserving state laws.

THCA disputes over the 2018 Farm Bill, delta-9 testing, total THC, and licensing show that the legal boundary remains unsettled and could affect Ohio and Pennsylvania businesses.
