US - Tennessee: Senate Bill (SB) 378 has been signed by governor Bill Lee and enacted into law. The bill strengthens the regulation on the sale and distribution of products with intoxicating hemp-derived cannabinoids (IHDCs), including delta-8 THC and hexahydrocannabinol (HHC) products, making it illegal – as Class A misdemeanour offence – for under-21s to purchase, possess, or accept these products. SB 378 also imposes an additional sales tax of 5% on IHDC products, and requires producers and retailers of such products to obtain a licence from the Department of Agriculture authorising the engagement in that business prior to the start of business or by 1st January 2024.27th April 2023

US - Tennessee: Senate Bill 1104, the Tennessee Medical Cannabis Act, has failed in the Senate. Had it passed it would have legalised the use of medical cannabis on a regulated basis for patients with qualifying medical conditions, established licences, and regulated the processes for cultivating, producing, distributing, transporting, selling, and acquiring cannabis for medical use and research. Most other cannabis-related legislation in Tennessee has also failed or made little progress in the legislature so far this session.
