The proposed law, Senate Bill 3, would ban consumable hemp products that contain any synthetic cannabinoid, often known as delta-8. Non-intoxicating and non-psychoactive CBD or CBG would remain legal. People found in possession of a product with those intoxicating cannabis compounds could face a fine of up to $500 come September. Higher fines and jail time would be possible for repeat offenders.
