November 8, 2024 - Further update regarding recently enacted New Jersey statute regulating intoxicating hemp products, P.L. 2024, ch. 73
On October 12, 2024, the Commission issued an update about enforcement of the above-noted law following a court order in Loki Brands LLC et al. v. Platkin et al., No. 24-cv-9389 (D.N.J.). As the October 12 notice advised, due to that court order the State is unable to begin enforcement of the provisions of P.L. 2024, c. 73 relating to the regulation of intoxicating hemp products at this time. However, the prohibition on the sale or distribution of any type of THC products to a person under 21 years of age remained in effect and remains enforceable. Additionally, the State advises that the law’s prohibition on the sale or distribution of hemp products or cannabis items that are not derived from naturally occurring biologically active chemical constituents remain in effect and is currently enforceable. Any further developments will be posted as they become available.
