A new law banning the sale of most hemp-derived THCa products takes effect Wednesday, making it illegal to sell or ship products containing 0.3% or more THCa statewide, the Nashville Banner reports. The law effectively prohibits smokable hemp products such as flower and pre-rolls while allowing certain low-potency drinks, edibles and vape products to remain on the market under new regulations. The measure also transfers oversight of hemp products to the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission and imposes new taxes and packaging, labeling and advertising requirements. Industry leaders estimate retailers could lose about 60% of their revenue under the law. Some dispensaries plan to remain open with limited products while others have announced plans to relocate out of state.
