Relating to a defense to prosecution for the possession of certain consumable hemp products containing a controlled substance or marihuana.

This bill creates a legal defense for individuals charged with possessing certain consumable hemp products containing marijuana or controlled substances. It applies only if the product: (1) is labeled as a legally authorized hemp product, (2) contains hemp-derived substances within legal limits (not other drugs), and (3) was bought from a retailer the person reasonably believed was authorized to sell such products. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, and does not apply to offenses committed before that date. It directly affects consumers of hemp-derived products who meet all three conditions, providing a defense against possession charges under specific circumstances.
