New Jersey incorporates hemp products into marijuana regulatory scheme (19459000)
Retailers have 30 days to remove all intoxicating hemp products from store shelves.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, Thursday A new bill was signed into law This law forces retailers to stop selling hemp products until they receive formal approval from marijuana officials.
The Asbury Park Press reported that the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission will now have full authority over intoxicating hemp products that have proliferated across the country in the wake the 2018 Farm Bill. This will include drafting rules and regulations for hemp companies who want to continue producing intoxicating products, such as product testing and labeling.
According to the Asbury Park Press, retailers who sell hemp products, including gas stations, convenience stores, and liquor stores, must remove them from their shelves within 30 day. The product moratorium is expected to last for at least 180 days. At that point, the commission will be required to finish the new hemp rules.
Until the commission approves specific products, however, they can only be sold by licensed cannabis dispensaries. This means that intoxicating hemp products will no longer be available from most mainstream retailers. They’ll be available only to consumers who are 21 years old and older.
In a Signing StatementMurphy said the “status-quo is untenable and this bill will end it.”
Murphy also criticized this bill for not going as far as it should have. He noted that alcohol distributors will be able to sell hemp products with intoxicating effects at wholesale, but not directly to consumers. He said that the bill could leave the CRC without the resources necessary to implement a responsible and effective hemp regulatory system.
Murphy said that there are still “significant” questions about how the new state laws will fit with federal hemp laws, and that “clarifying legislation” may be needed in the near future.
Murphy said that the current status quo is a risk to health, safety and security, because these unregulated hemp products, which are intoxicating, are widely available for minors. “Because this bill would address the present danger, I’ve concluded that it is wiser to sign the bill and commit to work with the Legislature to address technical issues and other obstacles in separate legislation.”
Philip Petracca, the owner of Bella Ray Beverage and other hemp businesses, told the Asbury Park Press that the new bill was “devastating” for his business. He said he had invested more than $1.5M in the business.
“Everyone is in favor of taking the unregulated and untested synthetic THC off the market.” Petracca told Asbury Park Press that this is not what they did. “What they did is kill the hemp industry.”
New Jersey is the latest state in the nation to take action following the boom in the hemp industry. California’s governor also issued a statement recently. Similar emergency rule order Hemp companies have even taken steps to combat the intoxicating products made from hemp. Missouri is a state that can be sued In an attempt to overturn a similar prohibition.
