When Connecticut approved the legalization of adult-use marijuana last month, it became the latest state to institute a ban on hemp-derived THC products, including delta-8 THC and delta-10 THC, for companies without a license to sell them. The state’s new law prohibits products containing delta-7, delta-8, delta-9 and delta-10 from being sold outside licensed cannabis retailers or medical marijuana dispensaries. The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) warned businesses after enactment of the law that established an adult-use marijuana marketplace and made changes to existing cannabis regulations that, beginning July 1, they may no longer offer or sell products made…

Becky Goetsch grows marijuana. She has about 800 plants spread out in a pair of greenhouses. She’s hoping to grow more. Inside the Killingworth garden store owned by Goetsch and her partner are huge plastic bins filled with dried cannabis buds ready to be rolled into joints and smoked.

Her plants are not laden with THC, the psychoactive compound, but CBD, which has been legal to grow and sell for years. “I think Connecticut grows some of the best hemp in the country,” Goetsch said. When asked what makes…

The recreational cannabis bill has changed a lot in our state, including what type of CBD and hemp products can be sold. Tobacco shops like this one in West Hartford used to be able to sell CBD oils with higher THC levels – but not now. The owner tells us it wasn’t a significant revenue stream, but wishes the state would have given them a little more lead time about the change. A local wholesaler of these products has also been impacted by the July 1 change. “Any products that were currently on the market, hemp-derived or cannabis-derived, with levels…

A top Rhode Island lawmaker says that while there’s not yet a consensus among legislators and the governor on a bill to legalize marijuana, it’s still a “workable” issue and would be prioritized if a special session is convened this fall.
