Yesterday, a pair of U.S. senators introduced a federal bill designed to regulate — not eradicate — h**p‑derived THC products, marking a major moment for delta‑9 drinks, gummies, and other infused formats. 

With a backdrop of federal legislation that would close the 2018 Farm Bill h**p loophole and potentially ban many intoxicating h**p products, Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley’s proposal lays out clear THC caps (e.g., ~5 mg per serving) and empowers safety oversight while permitting legal h**p products to stay on shelves. 

For brands and retailers, this isn’t just policy, it’s strategy. Now’s the time to audit and reformulate SKUs, tighten age‑gating and labeling, and build compliance playbooks that align with both pending federal frameworks and existing state rules.

A regulatory path versus outright prohibition could stabilize markets and give brands clarity on how to market responsibly and legally.

I’m not sure how I feel about these mg caps. It’s definitely too low but it’s better than the whole industry shutting down.

What are your thoughts?
