Massachusetts Approves Hemp Edible Limits Amid Local Enforcement Concerns

News summary

Several states are grappling with the regulation and enforcement of hemp-derived products containing cannabinoids, including THC and CBD. Massachusetts passed a bill banning intoxicating hemp-derived edibles but permitting hemp-derived beverages in licensed liquor stores, though local health boards lack the funding to enforce these rules effectively. Oregon enacted House Bill 4121, requiring registration and labeling of industrial hemp products by January 2026, which has raised concerns among business owners about potential disruptions. In Delaware, hemp-based stores face challenges due to legislative efforts aimed at stricter regulation, despite many products being legal under federal law because of low THC content. Nationally, industry groups like the Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America urge Congress to target synthetic cannabinoids rather than broadly banning consumable hemp products, advocating for clearer regulations that protect compliant businesses. Meanwhile, federal agencies have warned retailers about legal risks in accepting welfare benefits for products containing controlled substances such as cannabis.
