Missouri Attorney General threatens legal action against 18 hemp companies; more to come
(Rebecca Rivas/The Missouri Independent) Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has sent several cease-and-desist letters to companies selling a hemp product called THCA flower that looks exactly like marijuana flower sold at dispensaries. Bailey's letters threaten legal action, including injunctions, civil penalties and attorney's fees if the companies continue to sell the products. 'When purchasing products, Missourians deserve to know if they are being exposed to dangerous side effects like psychotic episodes, hallucinations or other life-threatening risks,' said Attorney General Bailey in a statement to The Independent. 'We have issued 18 cease and desist letters so far, and more are forthcoming.' Cannabis lobbyist Eapen Thampy said about a dozen smoke shops in St. Louis received the letters, and in some cases, THCA flower makes up 60% to 80% of the companies' inventories. Thampy said he's working with the companies to put together a response to the letters and preparing for potential litigation. The action is the first major move since Bailey created a new specialized unit last fall, with the aim to assist the state's alcohol and tobacco regulators in cracking down on intoxicating hemp products. In September, Bailey vowed his new unit would work with the Missouri Alcohol and Tobacco Control Division to bring legal action against licensees selling unregulated psychoactive cannabis products that violate the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act. 'The ATC will assist by making its investigators available as witnesses for legal proceedings resulting from actionable referrals,' Bailey said in September. 'Our enforcement toolkit will be robust from cease-and-desist letters and investigations to subpoenas and lawsuits to referrals for criminal prosecution where appropriate.' The letters that went out last month state that the companies are 'directed to cease and desist from selling' hemp products that contain more than 0.3% THCA on a dry weight basis. THCA is a naturally abundant cannabinoid that transforms into Delta-9 THC when smoked or heated. However, this is not what an official cease and desist order looks like, said Jefferson City-based attorney Chuck Hatfield. 'It is an informal cease and desist,' Hatfield said. 'It is not a letter that has the force and effect of law. It's more in the nature of a request to stop.' Under state law, if Bailey wanted to issue an official cease and desist order – as he did for Planned Parenthood in March – Hatfield said Bailey would have to issue a notice of intent first. The company would have the right to appeal through an administrative hearing, as well as challenge the order in court. 'But he hasn't done any of that,' Hatfield said. Bailey could also file a lawsuit under Missouri Merchandising Practices Act, and that doesn't require a cease and desist order, he said. Charles Alovisetti, a cannabis attorney with Vincente law firm in Boston, said the lack of a state law to support the action could put Bailey in a tricky spot. 'If the goal is to control THCA flower sales, states should regulate hemp products in their final form, including THCA flower, through clear legislation,' Alovisetti wrote in a LinkedIn post. 'Letters like this may not hold up in court.' For the third year in a row, state lawmakers failed to pass legislation to regulate intoxicating hemp products by the end of the session in May. At issue in Bailey's letters is THCA, which is not intoxicating in its natural state. Most marijuana flower found in dispensaries contains about 20-40% THCA, which would not get a person high if they consumed it without heating it. It has to be smoked to transform it into Delta-9 THC, which produces the desired high for consumers. The process of heating is called decarboxylation. Legal action against THCA hemp flower raises a dizzying debate about distinction between hemp and marijuana under federal law. Cannabis attorney Rod Kight, who has represented hemp businesses in lawsuits nationwide, said Bailey's letter accurately states that the sole distinction between legal hemp and illegal marijuana is the concentration of delta-9 THC, which cannot exceed 0.3% for hemp. The part Bailey gets wrong, Kight said, is claiming that THCA is part of the calculation for determining whether harvested hemp or a hemp product is lawful. 'Given that Missouri law does not address THCA at all, it is clear that the attorney general is relying on recent letters from the DEA in support of its position that the concentration of THCA must be taken into account when determining the legal status of harvested hemp and hemp products,' Kight said. However, he said the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's interpretation has caused a lot of confusion. 'Hemp growers must account for THCA before harvesting their hemp crops,' Kight said. 'Thereafter, the THCA concentration does not matter under federal law or the laws of Missouri and the 'post-decarboxylation' test does not apply to harvested hemp or hemp products sold by wholesalers or retailers.' Since the 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp, botanists have figured out how to breed cannabis plants capable of passing the only federal checkpoint required on hemp plants — a visit from U.S. Department of Agriculture inspectors 30 days before harvest. At that point, the levels of Delta-9 THC and THCA are below the federal threshold, but both increase before being harvested 30 days later. Kight said he believes there's lots of marijuana flower sold in dispensaries that would probably meet this standard of hemp as well. It's a point that's being argued in court, he said. 'THCA is the most abundant cannabinoid that cannabis produces,' he said. 'If there's any cannabinoid that humans have truly ingested for thousands of years, it's THCA. The hemp industry is moving kind of back towards this more natural sort of state of affairs, and I'm very pleased with that.' SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX

Texas THC ban, school funding bills have legislators split
The Brief The 89th Texas Legislative session is in the books. A bill banning THC and another funding schools in the state were among the biggest bills to pass. Gov. Abbott has until June 22 to sign, veto or allow bills to become law. The Texas legislative session is in the books, and it was full of action. As Gov. Greg Abbott signs bills passed by the Texas legislature, members from both parties talked about the big wins and losses. One of the most heated topics of this session was Senate Bill 3. The bill currently sits on Gov. Abbott's desk awaiting his approval. Abbott has said it is one of several bills on his desk and that he will give the legislation the "consideration and time" that it deserves. State Senator Royce West (D-Dallas) and Rep. Brian Harrison (R-Waxahachie) were on different sides of the vote, but both say they are confident in how they voted. What they're saying "I think the evidence is kind of overwhelming in terms of we're seeing THC stores pop up on every corner with THC as one of the main products of those stores. We're seeing kids utilizing THC products. The fact is do we want them to pop up on every corner like liquor stores? I don't want that," said West. "I agree with the goal of protecting children from potentially dangerous products. Everybody agrees with that, but that's not what this bill did. This bill bans all these hemp products that stop what Texas adults, many either want or rely on these products, and what it's going to do, it's going to have a devastating impact on our economy. It's going to shut eight, nine, 10,000 small businesses are going to have to close their doors. 40 to 50,000 jobs are going to get laid off and millions of Texans are going to be faced with a choice and basically pushed into either a completely unregulated, dangerous black market or to much more fatal and addictive pharmaceuticals. Why would we do such a thing?" Harrison argued. The session did not feature many wins for Texas Democrats. Sen. West believes one of those wins was a bill providing $8.5 billion for public school funding. Gov. Greg Abbott signed the bill on Wednesday. READ MORE: Gov. Abbott signs bill to provide $8.5B for Texas public schools What they're saying "You can always argue about the basic allotment, but the Senate's approach was restructuring the way that we finance public schools. We added additional allotments. One of the biggest issues we heard about, aside from making certain that teachers were able to get a adequate raise, was making certain that schools were able to take care of some of their fixed costs, their operational costs. And so we put an additional allotment in to make certain that every legislative session, we've got to look at the operational costs of districts and make certain that we put money into that allotment. And when I say allotments, into that bucket and that money then is spread throughout the entire state of Texas," he said. Rep. Harrison was concerned about the amount of money that will be spent due to the actions in this session. "Texas legislature this session basically said they are happy to continue taxing Texans out of their homes to fund a continuation of the Biden agenda to to burn the $24 billion surplus instead of giving it back to taxpayers in the form of property tax relief or to start eliminating property taxes to fund every left-wing progressive ideology under the sun," Harrison said. "On school choice, what they're not telling you, the people that are bragging about this so-called universal school choice program, they're telling you that it only applies to 1% of Texas students. They're also not telling that they had to give the teacher unions a $9 billion bribe just to get this little $1 billion small school choice program off the ground," he continued.

Batavia joins other local municipalities in restricting purchase of hemp-derived THC products
Batavia is joining other suburban communities in restricting access to hemp-derived THC products and Kratom, in a move officials say is meant to restrict access to the products in a similar way to restrictions on recreational marijuana. Without strong state and federal regulations, stores selling hemp products that can get users high do not face restrictions on the age of their customers, nor are they required to test and report on their products' potency or impurities they contain, according to past reporting on the topic. As a result, numerous Chicago suburbs have taken to issuing bans or regulations on the products. Now, Batavia is implementing restrictions of its own, focused on limiting access to customers 21 years old and older and instituting storage and packaging limitations meant to curb young people's access to the products. The idea of restricting access to hemp-derived products and Kratom has been months in the making, Batavia Police Chief Eric Blowers explained at a City Council Committee of the Whole meeting in May. Originally, there was a proposal to restrict the types of hemp-derived products that could be sold in Batavia, said City Administrator Laura Newman, but that idea was sent back to the drawing board. Blowers said he worked with Cheryl Cryer, the owner of Urban Apothecary in Batavia, to work up a new ordinance imposing restrictions on hemp-derived THC product and Kratom sales. The ordinance brought to the City Council in June did not include restrictions on the types of products that can be sold in the city, Newman explained, but focused on limiting who can buy the products and how. After getting approval from the City Council on June 2, the ordinance will establish a new chapter in the city's code as part of its business and license regulations. Here's what it includes: First, the ordinance defines what constitutes a hemp-derived product, and defines Kratom as 'any part of the plant Mitragyna speciosa, whether growing or not, and any compound, manufacture, salt, derivative, mixture, or preparation of that plant, including, but not limited to, mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine.' Then, it outlines the new rules governing the sale and display of the products. Per the new restrictions, businesses must check that a person buying any of these products is 21 years old or older by requiring them to show identification. Additionally, displays of 'intoxicating products' must be behind a sales or service counter or in a locked case so that a buyer requires an employee's assistance to get it, or it must be in a section of the business where other age-restricted products are kept. Or, a business can restrict access to customers 21 and older unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who is at least 21. The business must check for written proof of identity upon entry and post a sign at the entrance of the business that indicates access is restricted to those 21 and older. Businesses that opt not to restrict entry to those 21 and older unless they're accompanied by a parent or guardian must post a sign near every display of such products informing customers that buying these products is illegal if you are under 21. Lastly, the ordinance prohibits packaging that 'resembles trademarked, characteristic or product-specialized packaging' or commercially available candy, snacks, baked goods and beverages. It also states that hemp-derived THC products and Kratom products cannot contain images of food, candy, baked goods, cereal, fruit, beverages or the words 'candy' or 'candies,' nor can the packaging include images or graphics like those typically used to advertise to children, like cartoons, neon colors and celebrities. The age restriction is meant to mirror existing limitations on recreational marijuana purchases, Blowers previously told the City Council. And, the regulations on how the products are packaged are intended to 'limit the appeal of those products to kids, but also to prevent accidental ingestion by young children who may find an adult's hemp-derived THC and then mistake it for candy,' he noted. The restrictions passed recently apply to smoke and vape shops in the area, or other stores selling hemp-derived THC or Kratom products, according to Newman. It wouldn't apply to marijuana dispensaries, Blowers told The Beacon-News, because they're regulated by the state. Although more than 60% of Batavia voters came out in support of allowing recreational weed to be sold in 2020, no dispensaries currently operate in the city. But that's set to change soon, as a recreational marijuana dispensary is preparing to open in the near future at 144 S. Randall Road, according to past reporting. Despite some debate among residents as the proposal came before the City Council, it ultimately voted to approve the dispensary's plans in January, allowing the project by Rubino Ventures to move forward with getting the necessary city permits to open a Dutchess Cannabis location in the city. It would be their fifth location in the region. Following their passage by the City Council, the hemp and Kratom restrictions will take effect immediately, Blowers said. But they're taking an 'educational stance,' he said, as businesses get into compliance with the new rules. Blowers said they've informed businesses they know are selling these products of the new ordinance, and they will begin doing compliance checks in the near future.
