State-by-State Hemp & Cannabinoid Compliance Guide
The complex patchwork of state hemp and cannabinoid laws and regulations is constantly evolving, and tracking new developments can become a confusing and time-consuming undertaking for even the largest and best-managed businesses. Consequences of non-compliance can be costly, particularly in this novel area of law where businesses are subject to unique legal risks.
Given FDA's current position that it is illegal to market CBD products as ingredients in food or dietary supplements, states have developed diverging approaches to regulating hemp-derived cannabinoids in food, dietary supplements, cosmetics, and inhalable products. The Vicente LLP Hemp & Cannabinoid Compliance Guide was designed to help businesses like yours navigate this ever-changing regulatory environment of hemp-derived products. This comprehensive and affordable compliance solution is easy to use and can be tailored to your company’s specific needs. It features practical guidance and up-to-date summaries of state hemp and cannabinoid laws, regulations, and policy guidance, including:
- Product-type restrictions and permissibility of sale (food, dietary supplements, alcohol, vaporization, etc.)
- Manufacturing requirements
- Testing, packaging, and labeling requirements
- Reported enforcement actions
- License, permit, and registration requirements
- Utilizing of hemp ingredients and sale of hemp products by cannabis businesses
The guide is produced by Vicente LLP attorneys across the country who continually research, monitor, and analyze hemp laws, policies, and regulations. They also utilize valuable regulatory agency relationships and experience to provide subscribers with practical, easily digestible information.
