Tennessee’s THCA Ban: What You Need to Know Before July 1st Deadline

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — As of July 1, hemp retailers throughout Tennessee will confront the implications of new state regulations, which include a prohibition on most THCA products—a change that some shop owners fear may jeopardize their businesses.

This shift stems from legislation enacted last year that assigned the TN Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) regulatory authority over the hemp sector. Proponents of the law contended that it was necessary to establish oversight in a swiftly expanding market that they perceived as largely unregulated.

“It is the wild west out there. You do not know what you’re buying, and that is a problem,” commented House Majority Leader Rep. William Lamberth, (R-Portland).
