The Hemp Industries Association announced its support of the controversial psychedelic compound as CBD companies continue squabble with state and federal authoritiesWritten by Chris Kudialis, CBD and Cannabis Reporter.|Last Updated:Jun 27, 2021
After months of silence, a leading U.S. industry group for hemp professionals is setting the record straight: Delta-8 THC should be allowed.
The Hemp Industries Association on Friday encouraged state and federal authorities to be “guided by science” and adopt safety-first policies that allow people to continue legally purchasing the psychedelic compound.
The HIA, the country’s largest non-profit hemp trade association, cited a legal opinion written by Asheville, North Carolina-based Kight Law, which opined that Delta-8 THC, along with all other hemp-derived cannabinoids, were federally legalized in the 2018 Farm Bill.
