LITTLE ROCK [KATV] — Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin announced what he calls a "significant legal victory" after the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit reversed a lower court's decision, allowing the enforcement of Act 629 of 2023.
This act bans certain psychoactive hemp products, including Delta 8 and Delta 9, which have been linked to adverse health effects, particularly in children.
"Today's ruling isn't just a win for Arkansas, it's a win for common sense and the rule of law," Griffin said. "If you are selling these products, you are now doing it in violation of the law."
The lawsuit, brought by Bio Gen LLC and others, challenged the act, arguing it violated the 2018 Farm Bill. However, the Eighth Circuit found no support for this claim within the bill's text or structure.
