As smaller companies exploit a loophole in the Farm Bill to sell Delta-8-THC products in convenience stores and gas stations, Big Cannabis and states work to sub out the hemp’s hottest sector.

Legal High: Delta-8 THC, the latest and most psychoactive trend in the hemp industry, is under attack from cannabis companies who claim the"marijuana light" products could cause a public health crisis.ukas Gilkey, a veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard who founded Hometown Hero, one of the largest Delta-8-THC product distributors in the country, says his industry is under attack.

Hometown Hero almost lost its largest market, Texas, this summer when the state legislature introduced a bill that would’ve outlawed Delta-8. Gilkey teamed up with the Texas Hemp Federation to fight the bill, which was being supported by one of the medical marijuana companies in the state, and it died while being debated in the House and Senate. But Gilkey’s fight is not over: lawmakers will be sure to revive the bill during the next legislative session.

“I think it should be framed as one of the most high-profile health risks available in the marketplace today,” says Bayern. “The fact that these products are showing up completely unregulated and untested in mainstream channels, available to anybody, including children, is an incredibly dangerous proposition that needs to be addressed.”

“The law is very clear. People call it a grey area; it’s not,” says Warrender. “I get it, big cannabis companies are upset because of the competition, but at the same time they’re also a very elite group of special interests that have almost monopolized these states. Small entrepreneurs, who couldn’t participate in the industry because of all the expensive requirements, are also upset.”
