Fighting for CBD: The Legal Battle in California

In this episode of the Miracle Plant Podcast, Justin Benton, delves into the ongoing legal battles surrounding the use of full-spectrum CBD products in California. The episode begins with a discussion on the recent emergency law passed by Governor Gavin Newsom on September 6th, which bans full-spectrum CBD products containing any trace amounts of THC. This law contradicts both state law AB 45 and the federal 2018 Farm Bill, which define hemp as containing less than 0.3% THC.

Legal Contradictions and Actions Taken:

Justin explain how AB 45, a law he helped pass, clearly defines hemp and allows for trace amounts of THC, similar to kombucha's trace alcohol content.

The emergency law is described as overreaching and ill-advised, leading to the filing of a temporary restraining order, which was unfortunately not approved.

The next steps involve taking the case to federal court, arguing that the emergency law violates both state and federal regulations.

Synthetic THC and Industry Impact:

The episode highlights the issue of synthetic THC, particularly Delta-8 THC, which is not naturally occurring in the cannabis plant and has been banned in several states, including California.

He discusses how some companies' misuse of synthetic THC has given cannabis lobbyists an opportunity to push for restrictive measures, potentially influenced by political contributions.

Personal and Business Implications:

He shares personal anecdotes about living in California and the impact of the new law on our business, 101 Hemp.

Despite the legal challenges, our store in Ventura remains open, and their have contingency plans to continue serving our customers, including shipping from other states like Arizona.

Historical Context and Advocacy:

The episode provides a historical overview of hemp's legal status in the U.S., from its use during World War II to its re-legalization in 2014 and 2018.

He emphasizes the importance of keeping cannabis raw and natural, citing scientific research on the benefits of whole-plant consumption.
