The proposed bill mandates that the Cannabis Control Commission in Massachusetts regulate intoxicating hemp products. It introduces new definitions for various terms related to cannabinoids, including "artificially derived," "cannabidiol (CBD)," "cannabinoids," "cannabimimetic," and "tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)," among others. The bill stipulates that no individual may sell or transfer hemp-derived cannabinoid products or tetrahydrocannabiolic acid (THCA) without obtaining an intoxicating hemp endorsement from the commission, which will also impose fees for these endorsements. Additionally, all THC, CBD, and hemp-derived cannabinoids must be tested by an independent laboratory licensed by the commission before any sale or transfer.

Furthermore, the bill outlines penalties for violations of the new regulations, including potential imprisonment for up to one year or fines of up to $25,000 per day. It clarifies that the new regulations will not interfere with the cultivation and production of hemp as per existing laws or the interstate transportation of hemp products in compliance with federal law. The Cannabis Control Commission is tasked with creating the necessary rules and regulations to implement these provisions effectively.
