Regulating consumable hemp products

SB 808 regulates consumable hemp products in West Virginia by prohibiting smokable hemp products and synthetically derived cannabinoids. It requires manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to obtain licenses from the Alcohol Beverage Control Administration, mandates product testing for contaminants, and enforces strict labeling with health warnings and scannable safety data. The bill also bans sales to anyone under 21 (verified like alcohol sales) and imposes a 10% excise tax on retail sales (80% to state funds, 20% to localities). These provisions directly affect businesses selling hemp products, consumers purchasing them, and state/local revenue streams.
