Delaware

HB 373 (Oppose)

HB 373 has been introduced in Delaware, and it would unnecessarily limit market access and harm existing businesses.

While the bill allows beverages containing up to 10 milligrams of Delta-9 THC per container and includes reasonable product testing, labeling, and youth access safeguards, it restricts sales to package stores and marijuana retailers while imposing new taxes, licensing fees, and operational burdens on businesses. USHR supports reasonable regulation of hemp beverages, but Delaware should not create a system that unnecessarily limits consumer access and shuts out broader retail participation. Lawmakers should pursue a more balanced framework that protects consumers without creating unnecessary barriers for lawful businesses.
 

HB 395 (Oppose)

HB 395 has been also been introduced in Delaware, and it is a prohibition bill that would classify hemp as marijuana- bringing the state in line with the pending federal ban language..

The bill establishes a threshold for ‘total THC’ content (0.3% for industrial hemp and 0.4 milligrams per container to be classified as marijuana products) and specifying which cannabinoids are considered non-intoxicating. It introduces the concept of ‘counterfeit THC ingredients,’ defined as cannabinoids not naturally produced by the cannabis plant or those synthesized artificially, and restricts their inclusion in products intended for human or animal consumption.
