§ 111921 Hemp Product Thc Compliance

Key Takeaways

  • •You can't sell hemp products in the state unless they follow all the rules.
  • •Every hemp product must have a special paper (certificate) from a lab that checks two things: 1) It doesn’t have too much THC (the stuff that can make you feel 'high'), and 2) It was tested for everything listed on the label.
  • •The hemp used to make the product must be grown the right way—either following California’s rules if it’s from California, or the USDA’s rules if it’s from somewhere else.

Example

A store wants to sell hemp gummies that say they help with sleep.

Before selling the gummies, the store must have a lab test that shows the gummies don’t have too much THC and that they really have the stuff listed on the label, like melatonin. The hemp used to make the gummies must also be grown following California or USDA rules. If they don’t have this test or the hemp wasn’t grown right, they can’t sell the gummies.
