Virginia lawmakers weigh proposal banning recreational sales of hemp products
Fox News
Gov. Youngkin proposed a revised bill to ban sales of intoxicating hemp products in Virginia after patients who use CBD products called for amendments to the original measure.
Youngkin's substitute hemp bill continues "his efforts to crack down on dangerous THC intoxicants, including synthetic products" such as delta-8 THC, a psychoactive chemical often synthesized from hemp-derived CBD, his spokeswoman Macaulay Porter said in a statement, noting it contains "a narrowly tailored exemption" for therapeutic CBD products.
"Governor Youngkin’s substitute takes into account these critically necessary products while going even further to clear store shelves of illegal products responsible for sending children to the hospital," Porter said.
