- Hemp businesses ask federal judge to block Virginia’s new THC cap
Seven Virginia hemp businesses filed a lawsuit asking a federal judge to block new state restrictions on consumable hemp products set for Aug. 15. The changes eliminate an exception allowing certain high-CBD products, meaning the general cap will mandate that all saleable products contain no more than 2 mg of total THC per package. Plaintiffs argue these sudden regulations are unconstitutional and will cause immediate bankruptcy and forced closures.
