California Governor Gavin Newsom's Emergency Regulations on Marijuana Health Risks
Gavin Newsom Introduces Emergency Regulations
Governor Gavin Newsom on Friday introduced new emergency regulations that aim to protect public health by restricting the sale of intoxicating hemp products. These regulations are a response to loopholes in California law that previously allowed these products to be sold without age restrictions.
Key Points of the New Regulations
- The new rules focus on protecting children from the adverse health effects of intoxicating hemp products.
- The regulations require that psychoactive cannabinoids be undetectable in products like gummies and drinks.
- Sales of these products will be limited to consumers who are at least 21 years old.
- Serving sizes of such items will be restricted to five servings or less.
During a press conference alongside California Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly, who announced his upcoming departure from his position, Governor Newsom emphasized the need for safer practices in the distribution of intoxicating hemp products. This initiative reflects a growing concern regarding the health implications associated with unregulated marijuana and hemp products.
