A coalition of 22 state attorneys general is calling on Congress to address “the glaring vagueness” that has led to legal cannabis products being sold over the counter across the country — including sometimes from vending machines or online.

A letter dated March 20 addresses the consequences of Republican lawmakers’ choice to legalize hemp production in the 2018 omnibus Farm Bill — a decision that perhaps inadvertently led to a multibillion-dollar market in intoxicating cannabis products that are arguably federally legal.

Now, the attorneys general want Congress to shutter the market it helped create. In the new Farm Bill, they want the legislature to enshrine in statute the idea that intoxicating cannabis is not federally legal — contrary to what the law currently states.

    Besides that, the winds have changes with regards to weed as half the country has already legalized it while something like 38 states have some sort of MMJ. The genie isn’t going back into the bottle and the sky hasn’t fallen in the states that legalized.

    Hilarious that their argument is that “these products are unregulated” when their solution is an outright ban which just shifts everything back to the unregulated black market. You know where these type of products are regulated? In states that have legal weed.

      We don’t really have good data on these products. We have a long history of people using Delta 9 with seemingly few negative side effects. We have very little data on Delta 8 primary active products.

      Cannabis should just be legalized nationally. These products are hardly different than the “research chemicals” that spring up to skirt drug laws.
