What You Need to Know About Tennessee’s Hemp Ban
Tennessee’s near-total THCa ban, effective Wednesday, prohibits smokable hemp products with 0.3% or higher THCa concentration while allowing low-potency edibles and vapes. The law closes a 2022 loophole that allowed THCa products, impacting retailers and reducing projected tax revenue. Medical THC remains illegal, though lawmakers may propose medical use next year following federal reclassification.
