Florida lawmakers are just a step away from banning delta-8 products, like edible gummies, vapes and joints that can create a psychoactive high in its users.
Florida senators on Thursday unanimously passed a bill that would exclude synthetic or naturally occurring delta-8 and delta-10 from being legally sold as hemp products. An identical House bill is also headed toward a full chamber vote.
What do the bills propose?
Along with excluding delta-8 and delta-10 from being categorized as hemp products, the bills, HB 1613 and SB 1698, would cap the strength of hemp products to no more than 2 milligrams of delta-9 THC per serving and no more than 10 milligrams of THC per package.
It also would prohibit flavoring from being added to any hemp vapes, to try to make hemp products less attractive to children.
It also would require that the national poison control hotline number be printed on the packaging of hemp products. And it allocates $2 million to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to buy testing equipment.
