Title

Controlled substances; psychoactive derivatives of hemp added as Schedule I drug

Description

Existing law lists tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) as a Schedule I controlled substance, but explicitly exempts THC found in hemp.

Delta-8 THC, Delta-9 THC, and Delta-10 THC are psychoactive cannabinoids that can be made from hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD). Under existing law, these psychoactive cannabinoids sold in Alabama may not be sold to minors and must be located in an area where minors cannot access the products.

This bill would provide that only non-psychoactive cannabinoids derived from or found in hemp are exempt from the Schedule I controlled substances list, thus classifying psychoactive cannabinoids as controlled substances.

This bill would also repeal the provision that prohibits the sale of psychoactive cannabinoids to minors.
