Massachusetts

In Massachusetts, H4160 would establish a clear statewide regulatory framework for hemp-derived products. The legislation creates a pathway for the legal sale of hemp-derived THC beverages through licensed retail channels while protecting continued access to non-intoxicating wellness products like CBD topicals and supplements.  The bill places oversight with the Cannabis Control Commission but draws a sharp line between hemp and marijuana. It avoids unnecessary burdens by tailoring rules to product type, potency, and use. It includes licensing, labeling, and testing standards to ensure safety while preventing abuse of intoxicating compounds in general retail.
