Rep. Andy Barr's Hemp Bill Faces White House Concerns Over Inhalable Products
Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY) has introduced a bipartisan bill to regulate hemp-derived THC products, claiming White House support. However, sources indicate that the Trump administration has reservations about provisions related to inhalable products. The bill, co-sponsored by Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN), aims to establish regulations for manufacturing, labeling, sales, and taxation of hemp products, with an age limit of 21. While the administration has called for a pause on the federal recriminalization of hemp THC products, it has not explicitly endorsed Barr's bill. The White House's concerns focus on the inclusion of inhalable forms of cannabis in the definition of legal hemp products.
