Last month, Rep. Chellie Pingree of Maine introduced The H**p Advancement Act of 2022, which aims to address unresolved issues stemming from the implementation of the 2018 Farm Bill.
Among other things, this bill aims to:
❇️ Raise the allowable THC threshold (from 0.3% to 1%) for h**p and in-process h**p extract to make the rules more workable for growers and processors while ensuring that final h**p products sold to consumers aren’t intoxicating.
❇️ Remove the requirement that h**p testing occur in DEA-registered laboratories, which is a particular challenge in Maine where there currently aren’t any of these facilities.
❇️ End the 10-year ban on people with drug-related felony convictions receiving a h**p license, which disproportionately excludes communities of color from participating in this emerging market.
Not sure what this might mean for your business moving forward? Send me a message about legal planning, regulatory support, corporate guidance, or compliance strategies.
The National H**p Association has publicly given their support of this bill and we're following along to see what happens next. What are your thoughts? Let us know below 👇 👇
