What FDA Warning Letters Signal About Delta-8 Enforcement
On May 4, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued new warning letters to five companies selling products containing Delta-8 THC, an intoxicating cannabinoid derived from hemp, according to the Law360* article. In announcing the warning letters, the agency advised that "Delta-8 THC has psychoactive and intoxicating effects and may be dangerous to consumers."
The FDA's recent action reflects swirling debates over Delta-8 THC at the federal and state levels. Many hemp advocates claim the cannabinoid is federally legal, while consumer protection advocates feverishly disagree.
