Gov. Youngkin has proposed banning sales of Delta 8-THC hemp products in Virginia.
Youngkin made the recommendation to a bill passed by the General Assembly that puts more restrictions on hemp derived products.
These products are in the form of vapes and edibles and are sold at many CBD and vape shops in Virginia. They give users a buzz, but not as strong as one from regular marijuana.
“Delta-8 is in fact basically marijuana and marijuana is prohibited from being sold right now. There’s not a market, so this was a good clarifying amendment in order to treat Delta-8 along with Delta-9 in the same category, while preserving all the access for CBD products,” Youngkin told News 3 on Tuesday morning.
Youngkin also has proposed limiting the sales of CBD to people 21 and older.
The hemp industry slammed Youngkin’s proposals. “Unfortunately, this bill turned from bad to worse,” said Yan Gleyzer, a business owner in Chesterfield County and the president of the Virginia Healthy Alternatives Association.
