Last week, California Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed strict new rules on intoxicating substances derived from hemp. The crackdown would give the Golden State more punitive drug laws than even Florida.
Newsom, who was floated as a potential replacement for Joe Biden on the Democratic presidential ticket, announced new "emergency regulations" on Friday. Under the new rules, any "industrial hemp final form food product intended for human consumption" must contain "no detectable amount of total THC," and "each package shall have no more than five servings." The new regulations would also prohibit anyone under the age of 21 from purchasing any hemp-derived food products.
