The bill seeks to regulate THC-containing products by amending existing cannabis and hemp laws. It introduces the definition of "hemp consumable," which refers to products with a THC concentration of no more than one milligram per unit and three milligrams per package. The bill clarifies the definitions of cannabis and industrial hemp, ensuring a distinction between cannabis products and hemp consumables. Additionally, it redefines THC concentration to include various forms of THC, including isomers, and specifies that cannabis products are those intended for consumption with a THC concentration exceeding the established limits, thereby creating a clear regulatory framework.

Moreover, the bill enhances labeling requirements for cannabis products sold at retail, mandating the disclosure of THC and CBD concentrations, the amount of synthetically derived CBD, and health and safety information. It also stipulates that no person may manufacture, sell, or distribute cannabis products without a valid license issued by the relevant board or commission. These amendments aim to improve consumer safety, ensure proper labeling and distribution, and maintain compliance with state agricultural standards, ultimately enhancing transparency and safety within the cannabis industry.
