Hemp intoxicants banned for under 21

Stores cannot sell "potentially intoxicating hemp products" to anyone under 21. This covers hemp‑derived ingestible products the law classifies as potentially intoxicating. The rule applies statewide and takes effect immediately.

New tests to classify hemp products

The law lists which cannabinoids are nonintoxicating (like CBD, CBG, CBDV, CBN) and which are potentially intoxicating (like delta-8, delta-9, delta-10, HHC, THC-O acetate forms, and some metabolites). It sets two tests for ingestible hemp products: under 0.3% potentially intoxicating cannabinoids, and more than a 10-to-1 ratio of nonintoxicating to potentially intoxicating cannabinoids. A product that fails either test counts as a "potentially intoxicating hemp product" and is subject to sale limits. Makers, distributors, and retailers must use these rules now.
