New Legislation Limits THC in Hemp Products, Impacting Georgia's Market
November 16, 2025 - 00:22
The hemp industry in Georgia is bracing for significant changes following the enactment of a new law that restricts the amount of THC allowed in hemp extract products. Under this legislation, products will be limited to just 0.4 milligrams of THC per container, effectively banning over 95% of current hemp extract offerings, including popular CBD items.
This drastic reduction in permissible THC levels raises concerns about the potential for a surge in black market activities. As legal options dwindle, consumers may turn to unregulated sources for their hemp-derived products, posing risks related to quality and safety. Businesses in the hemp sector are also facing uncertainty, as the new restrictions could lead to financial hardships and a decrease in sales.
Advocates for the hemp industry are urging lawmakers to reconsider the implications of this law, emphasizing the importance of a regulated market that ensures consumer safety while supporting legitimate businesses. The future of the hemp industry in Georgia hangs in the balance as stakeholders navigate this challenging landscape.
