Non-binding provisions included in President Joe Biden’s recently signed omnibus spending bill recommend new regulations on hemp-derived cannabinoids and research into expanding the federal THC cap on hemp. The move comes amid Texas' lengthy crack down.
The 2018 Farm Bill specified that the THC cap is for delta-9 THC. Some say having a total THC cap as low as 0.3%-1% could be even more restrictive than the existing limit.
The legalization of hemp led to a booming market of CBD and other hemp-derived products. But the lack of regulation has remained a problem. The provisions in the spending bill look to address that. The FDA is asked to maintain funding to support regulatory activities, which could include developing new policies. It also said the FDA should be conducting research into cannabis-derived substances like CBD.
