Georgia is set to implement new regulations on its burgeoning hemp industry, aiming to cap the amount of delta-9 THC in various cannabis products. The law, effective October 1, introduces strict limits on THC content in gummies, beverages, topicals, and tinctures. For instance, gummies cannot exceed 10mg of delta-9 THC per serving, while beverages are capped at 5mg per serving. These changes reflect a significant shift from the state’s previously lenient stance on cannabis products.

The proposed regulations have sparked concerns among industry stakeholders, with potential legal challenges anticipated. Critics argue that the state law might conflict with federal regulations, creating loopholes for other cannabinoids like delta-8 THC. Additionally, the new rules could deter out-of-state companies from distributing their products in Georgia due to the stringent compliance requirements. However, supporters believe these regulations could clarify legal ambiguities and attract new retailers to the state. For more details, visit the original article on Axios.
