Missouri is banning the sale of drinks, candy and other foods made with hemp-derived intoxicating substances, Republican Gov. Mike Parson announced in an an executive order issued Thursday.
The ban kicks in Sept. 1.
Parson cited health concerns and lack of research on Delta-8 THC and similar unregulated CBD substances.
He also made clear that his order does not prohibit consumption of psychoactive hemp products. The rules “are not here to punish consumers,” Parson said.
Everyone I know in the industry are in the medical field, and they all stay as far away from that stuff as they can, leave it to the headshops to panhandle.
Well of course they would. medical Cannabis is tightly controlled… the d9, even if it’s naturally produced, has zero regulations.
