"Now, a provision in the federal spending bill will limit the amount of THC in a beverage or edible to .4 milligrams-well below the 10 milligrams promised by some of the hemp-based drinks found on gas station shelves. While hemp contains much less THC than the high concentrations present in marijuana plants, hemp-based THC can still give people a dose-dependent buzz when ingested."
"the psychoactive compound from marijuana that gets people high. In 2018, a multiyear agricultural law known as a farm bill created that distinction, removing hemp-the very low-THC version of cannabis-from being lumped in with the controlled substance marijuana. That small shift gave birth to a booming industry of hemp-based THC drinks and snacks, which quickly hit store shelves even where recreational cannabis is illegal."
A hidden provision in the federal spending bill imposes a 0.4 milligram THC limit for beverages and edibles. The 2018 farm bill defined hemp as Cannabis sativa L. containing less than 0.3 percent THC, removing hemp from marijuana's controlled-substance classification and enabling a rapid growth of hemp-based THC drinks and snacks. Businesses exploited loopholes and converted CBD into other forms of THC to sell intoxicating products widely, including in states without recreational cannabis. The new per-product THC cap is far below doses marketed by some hemp products and could effectively eliminate the recreational hemp segment.
