‘Fake Weed’ Gummies, Vape Pens And Other Hemp Products Banned In South Dakota Where Majority Opposes Recreational Cannabis
A law that bans the sale of unregulated hemp products in South Dakota took effect on Monday, July 1 some three months after Governor Kristi Noem (R) signed it into law.
Under House Bill 1125 “the chemical modification or conversion of industrial hemp and the sale or distribution of chemically modified or converted industrial hemp,” is prohibited and will result in a penalty otherwise.
Which Means?
The measure from Rep. Brian Mulder (R) makes the sale of all Delta-8, Delta-10, THC-O, HHC and THC-P products and other unregulated THC products illegal statewide and treated as a Class 2 misdemeanor. The five chemicals can be synthesized and added to hemp products in amounts that would result in effects much like that of the delta-9 THC found in marijuana, as highlighted by South Dakota Searchlights’ John Hult.
