Legislation calling for state regulation of hemp-derived delta-8 THC products won overwhelming passage in the Kentucky House<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers said they’ve heard pleas from law enforcement and school officials urging action to keep the mildly intoxicating substance away from children.<\/p>\n

“We have this product getting into the hands of children,” Republican House Speaker Pro Tempore David Meade said during the debate. “We have some that have overdosed on this product.”<\/p>\n

House Bill 544 cleared the House on a 97-0 vote to advance to the Senate. The vote was praised by the U.S. Hemp Roundtable, a national advocacy group for the hemp industry.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Miller, the group’s general counsel, called it “strong legislation” to regulate delta-8 THC<\/a> and to keep it out of the hands of minors.<\/p>\n

“Unregulated intoxicating products pose a health crisis for Kentucky and the nation, but measures to criminalize these products are not prudent,” Miller said in a statement. “HB 544 cuts the perfect balance by ensuring strict regulations that will keep children from accessing these adult products.”<\/p>\n

The organization urged the Senate to pass the measure in the coming days. Thursday was the 23rd day of this year’s 30-day legislative session.<\/p>\n

The bill would direct Kentucky’s Cabinet for Health and Family Services to craft administrative regulations for the production and sale of delta-8 products in the Bluegrass State.<\/p>\n

The measure sets guidelines for those regulations \u2014 including banning the sale of delta-8 products to anyone younger than 21. Those guidelines also call for keeping the products behind retail counters and requiring that the ingredients be clearly shown on product labels.<\/p>\n

Hemp is the low-THC version of the cannabis plant. THC is the cannabis compound that gives marijuana<\/a> its high. Currently in Kentucky, it’s legal to possess and distill hemp-derived cannabidiol oil that contains less than 0.03% THC, according to a news release from the House majority caucus. However, the legalization of hemp has led to the unregulated manufacturing and distribution of delta-8 THC.<\/p>\n

The bill’s lead sponsor is Republican Rep. Rebecca Raymer.<\/p>\n

“The Kentucky hemp program is a staple for our agricultural community, but the selling and usage of unregulated THC is a danger to every Kentuckian who may use it,” Raymer said in a statement. “These products have no standards for production. If someone were to purchase Delta-8, they have no way of determining if it is safe. This measure will both protect our consumers and enhance the industry.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
