Governor Gavin Newsom has emphasized the need to regulate consumable hemp products sold in stores without age restrictions, especially those containing THC targeting children. He expressed his disappointment in the industry's self-regulation, noting how easily accessible intoxicating hemp products are, pointing out their availability in everyday grocery stores. Newsom's desire for immediate action includes removing these products off shelves and encouraging parents to challenge retailers regarding their presence.
In a statement, Gov. Newsom described the current situation as "a disgrace and it's a shame, and the industry bears full responsibility for not policing itself." He highlighted that the lack of regulation allows anyone, regardless of age, to purchase these intoxicating hemp products, which he initially discovered through conversations with his preteen son. This revelation prompted a strong stance for regulation to ensure safety.
