Cannabis, hemp companies fight over whether to ban or regulate intoxicating products like delta-8-THC

The law defined hemp as cannabis that has less than 0.3% delta-9-THC, the main component of pot that gets users high.

The popular byproduct of hemp at the time was nonintoxicating CBD, but a lack of federal guidelines has stunted that market. Federal lawmakers didn’t foresee that a cottage industry would spring up to create other products from hemp, like delta-8 and delta-10-THC and THCO that can get users high but are said to be milder than pot.

Smoke shops, gas stations and websites around the country have sprung up to sell the products, sometimes along with illegal delta-9-THC, often with no age restrictions, and often in candy and cookies that look like famous brands.
