8 SYNOPSIS: Existing law lists tetrahydrocannabinol
9 (THC) as a Schedule I controlled substance, but
10 explicitly exempts THC found in hemp.
11 Delta-8 THC is a psychoactive substance that
12 can be derived from hemp.
13 This bill would provide that only
14 non-psychoactive cannabinols derived from or found
15 in hemp are exempt from the Schedule I controlled
16 substances list.

18 A BILL
19 TO BE ENTITLED
20 AN ACT
21
22 Relating to controlled substances; to amend Section
23 20-2-23, as last amended by Act 2021-325, 2021 Regular
24 Session, Code of Alabama 1975; to provide further for
25 tetrahydrocannabinol listed as a Schedule I controlled
26 substance.
27 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF ALABAMA:
Page 1
1 Section 1. Section 20-2-23, as last amended by Act
2 2021-325, 2021 Regular Session, Code of Alabama 1975, to be
3 amended as follows:
4 "20-2-23.
5 "(a) The Legislature finds the following:
6 "(1) New synthetic substances are being created
7 which are not controlled under the provisions of existing
8 state law but which have a potential for abuse similar to or
9 greater than that for substances controlled under existing
10 state law. These new synthetic substances are called synthetic
11 controlled substances or synthetic controlled substance
12 analogues and can be designed to produce a desired
13 pharmacological effect and to evade the controlling statutory
14 provisions. Synthetic controlled substances or synthetic
15 controlled substance analogues are being manufactured,
16 distributed, possessed, and used as substitutes for controlled
17 substances.
18 "(2) The hazards attributable to the traffic in and
19 use of a synthetic controlled substance or synthetic
20 controlled substance analogues are increased because their
21 unregulated manufacture produces variations in purity and
22 concentration.
23 "(3) Many new synthetic substances are untested, and
24 it cannot be immediately determined whether they have useful
25 medical or chemical purposes.
26 "(4) The uncontrolled importation, manufacture,
27 distribution, possession, or use of controlled substance
Page 2
1 analogues has a substantial and detrimental impact on the
2 health and safety of the people of this state.
3 "(5) Synthetic controlled substances or synthetic
4 controlled substance analogues can be created more rapidly
5 than they can be identified and controlled by action of the
6 Legislature. There is a need for a speedy determination of
7 their proper classification under existing law. It is
8 therefore necessary to identify and classify new substances
9 that have a potential for abuse, so that they can be
10 controlled in the same manner as other substances controlled
11 under existing state law.
12 "(b) The controlled substances listed in this
13 section are included in Schedule I:
14 "(1) Any of the following opiates, including their
15 isomers, esters, ethers, salts, and salts of isomers, esters
16 and ethers, unless specifically excepted, whenever the
