Intoxicating hemp products like delta-8-THC would be banned in Illinois under a proposal in Springfield — prompting hemp companies to fight for their survival.
“Big Cannabis has no interest in regulations for hemp companies like mine,” Charles Wu, CEO of Nexem hemp grower and Chi’tiva stores that sell delta-8, told the Tribune. ″What they have been pushing for is a complete ban of our industry.”
“The ban is for intoxicating hemp,” said Pam Althoff, of the Cannabis Business Association of Illinois, which represents licensed marijuana businesses. “Normal CBD products that have small amounts of THC are perfectly legal, and nobody’s attempting to stop their production.”
