10th February 2023
US - Connecticut: Connecticut attorney general William Tong has sued five retailers for selling delta-8 THC products "mimicking popular youth-oriented snacks and candies". Tong also announced that he is in the process of issuing warning letters to other retailers about delta-8 sales. Connecticut law includes all THC isomers in its THC calculation for hemp products and therefore limits the amount of delta-8 THC (along with other THC isomers) to 0.3%. Delta-8 products may only be sold in licensed cannabis dispensaries if they meet all testing, tracking, labelling, and packaging requirements set for in the state's cannabis laws. The lawsuits allege that the delta-8 products at issue contained more than 0.3% THC and were therefore unlicensed sales of cannabis.10th January 2023
