The rise of intoxicating hemp products – such as delta-8 THC and other synthetic cannabinoids – has created a gray market that threatens public health and undermines regulated cannabis programs. Unlike state-licensed cannabis, these intoxicating hemp products are sold with little oversight, misleading labeling, and no mandatory product testing. This situation puts consumers at risk of exposure to harmful chemicals used in manufacturing, inconsistent potency, and unintended intoxication levels.
Without a clear licensing and enforcement framework, intoxicating hemp has become a loophole for unlicensed businesses to sell THC-laden products to minors and uninformed consumers. This not only jeopardizes public safety but also weakens the legitimacy of legal, commercial cannabis and hemp markets that prioritize consumer protections and responsible sales.
As intoxicating hemp evolves, state and local regulators must act quickly to establish strong oversight. To address these risks, hemp regulators need a modern, robust regulatory platform that adapts to the industry’s ever-evolving market conditions. At a minimum, the hemp regulatory solution should:
- Centralize licensing and approvals
- Track business and product compliance and inspections
- Efficiently enforce violations for non-compliant operators
- Provide enhanced internal and external case management
- Improve public transparency with data-driven AI insights and reporting
