Congress Passes New Rule Redefining Hemp and Setting Sales Limits
What happened
Congress passed a rule that redefines hemp and establishes new sales limits for the product. The previous definition, established under the 2018 Farm Bill, limited weed to 0.3% delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis. The new definition incorporates total THC concentration to address THC-a, which is a precursor to delta-9 THC, and also restricts the amount of product that can be sold per container.

Why it matters
The rule changes the legal definition of hemp and closes a loophole related to THC-a products, which previously allowed stores to sell products that contained high levels of THC precursors. The new restrictions on sales per container also impact how these cannabinoid-containing products are marketed and sold.
