420 with CNW — VA Declines Certifying a Veteran’s Hemp Because of Marijuana’s Federal Status

Last week, the Department of Veterans Affairs rejected an application made by a veteran requesting that his hemp product firm be recognized. In its denial letter, the department stated that the department could not endorse the business because it was involved in products derived from the same genus of the marijuana plant, which would give the impression that a federal agency was endorsing the plant. This rejection highlights the confusion around hemp’s legal status, which is defined as cannabis sativa L., and its derivatives, which contain less than 0.3% THC under U.S. law. Marijuana products with higher THC concentrations are…

420 with CNW — Appeals Court Says Delta-8 THC Federally Legal

According to a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals panel, products containing delta-8 THC are legal under federal law. The court ruled that the 2018 farm bill was clear and only restricted delta-9 THC to no more than 0.3% of a product on a dry-weight basis. The panel of three judges agreed unanimously that the law doesn’t mention anything about delta-8 THC, so one cannot claim that the substance is illegal under the 2018 farm bill. Delta-9 THC, commonly called THC, is the most plentiful of all cannabinoids and it is responsible for the “high” that marijuana users experience. This substance…

In November 2020, residents in New Jersey voted to legalize marijuana in the state. The next year, Gov. Phil Murphy signed three legislations on the legalization of cannabis.

The commission in the state gave approval to a more than 100 conditional licenses for smaller growers and manufacturers. Despite having approval, it may take a year or longer for these operations to…

420 with CNW — Commissioner Califf Admits FDA Hasn’t Done Much on CBD

While addressing a Congressional panel, FDA chief Dr. Robert Califf admitted that the agency he heads hasn’t been as fast as stakeholders may want as it handles matters of creating regulatory pathways for different products, including cannabidiol, extracted from hemp. This is despite the legalization at a federal level of hemp as well as its derivatives several years ago. He admitted that while things look the same as they were when hemp was legalized back in 2018, his agency now has more data because it has been doing plenty of research. He added that most of the funds allocated to…
