Understanding California Cannabis Regulations and the Impact of Gov. Newsom's Ban on Hemp THC
California Cannabis Regulations Under Review
California cannabis regulations are evolving, particularly with regard to the recent ban initiated by Gov. Gavin Newsom. This ban targets hemp products containing any 'detectable amount' of THC, raising concerns among cannabis businesses.
Cheech and Chong's Position
In response, Cheech and Chong's Global Holdings has stated that low-dose hemp-derived THC products should be regulated similarly to alcohol and tobacco. This argument stresses the importance of tailoring regulations that reflect consumer demand while ensuring public safety.
- Public Safety:** An emphasis is placed on regulating products to prevent unintentional consumption by minors.
- Market Access: Businesses need a legal framework that supports sales without infringing on safety measures.
The Future of California Cannabis
This regulatory change impacts more than just Cheech and Chong; it signals a potential shift in how state law may evolve in response to consumer behavior and safety concerns.
