Missouri Secretary of State Rejects Governor’s Ban on Intoxicating Hemp Products

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson’s (R) executive order to ban the sale of intoxicating hemp products was held up last week by Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, who rejected the emergency rules for not meeting certain state law criteria, the Missouri Independent reports.

The ban, which was supposed to take effect on September 1, would have prohibited the sale of hemp-derived products containing delta-8 and delta-10 THC, hexahydrocannabinol (HHC), tetrahydrocannabinol (THC-O), tetrahydrocannabiphoral (THCP), and tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV). But after Ashcroft rejected the governor’s plan, officials now must submit rules to ban intoxicating hemp products like they would any other law — a process that could take up to six months, the governor said in a scathing letter to Ashcroft.
