Wu joined lawmakers and other hemp industry stakeholders Wednesday in hopes of closing the loophole that allows for the unregulated sale of Delta-8 products. They signed a responsible business pledge, a symbolic measure calling for limiting the sale of Delta-8 products to consumers 21 and over, keeping all Delta-8 products behind a counter, and ensuring that Delta-8 products are tested and labeled.
"As a mother, i am very concerned about the current state of bad actors who are able to give intoxicating products to our young people," said 9th District State rep. Lakesia Collins. "As hemp stakeholders, there's not one of our business owners that wants to sell to underage children," said Kalee Hooghkirk, Midwest Hemp Coalition.
Rep. Collins and State Rep. LaShawn Ford said they are lobbying for more hemp industry regulations in Springfield, and will continue to work toward that end.
