US - Kentucky: Governor Andy Beshear has issued two executive orders, one which allows for the possession of cannabis for medical purposes under certain conditions and another which regulates hemp-derived delta-8 THC products. The medical cannabis order grants pardons to anyone possessing cannabis after 1st January 2023 who demonstrates that a doctor has recommended it for a specified condition and that it was obtained legally in another state, among other conditions. The delta-8 THC order makes clear that “Delta-8 is not a controlled substance under either Kentucky law or federal law”, and applies the requirements of 902 KAR 45:190, which includes packaging and labelling requirements for hemp-derived products, to delta-8 products.
