Disclaimer: The Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) regularly archives industry advisories for transparency and historical reference. However, the advisories may not necessarily reflect the current state of the discussed statute or regulation. Please consult the statute, regulation, and/or an attorney before taking any action to ensure compliance with the law.
Governor Newsom has announced that the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is pursuing emergency regulations that clearly prohibit the marketing, offering for sale, or sale of industrial hemp products intended for human use (including food, beverages, and dietary supplements) that contain a detectable level of total THC or other intoxicating cannabinoids.
When the proposed emergency regulations go into effect, ABC-licensed businesses may not carry, market, offer for sale, or sell any products that do not comply. Doing so will subject the ABC license to administrative disciplinary action. Products that promote or indicate that they contain THC will not comply with the proposed emergency regulation. It is recommended that licensees immediately cease the marketing or sale of such products once the proposed emergency regulations go into effect.
The proposed emergency regulations may be viewed on CDPH's website.
