Hawaii Interim Hemp Rules In Effect

Hawaii’s Department of Health last week adopted interim rules for hemp processors and products – and not everyone is happy.

The rules, which came into effect on August 9, prohibit a bunch of hemp-derived products including:

Hemp products for oral consumption other tablet, capsule, powder, softgel, gelcap or liquid form Foods and beverages containing CBD and other cannabinoids. Eliquids for vaping Products for smoking Products that are administered via non-oral routes.

Additionally, products must be tested by a qualified lab and there are various other regulatory and record-keeping requirements needing to be observed.
