Louisiana may have accidentally legalized THC products. Now officials want to crack down.

In November, John Williams, the top beer lobbyist in Louisiana, sent out a mass email to legislators with an alarming subject line: “Recreational THC is now legal in Louisiana.”
He distributed pictures of gas stations and smoke shops advertising products full of THC -- the psychoactive chemical found in marijuana – many of which hit the shelves after House Speaker Clay Schexnayder ushered through legislation to set up a legal hemp industry in the state. In a followup email, Williams, who opposed the hemp legislation, said the businesses selling the THC-laden products play by a looser set of rules than alcohol retailers.
quote:
Schexnayder’s 2022 bill set up an “adult-use” market for consumable products made from hemp. Schexnayder assured fellow legislators, many of whom oppose legal recreational marijuana, that his legislation wouldn’t give people access to products that get them high.
quote:
It is now easier than ever for adults to get access to gummies and other products that get them high. That’s largely because the products contain Delta 8 THC, a compound from the cannabis plant that is slightly different from the Delta 9 THC that defines marijuana.
quote:
Now, regulators and lawmakers are trying to unring the bell and crack down on a massive proliferation of THC-laden products that have become widely and legally available.

Lab-based drug tests (2 stage test, where positives are confirmed with GC/MS) ONLY test for delta-9 THC. Any hemp-based and CBD or delta-8 products are considered supplements and are not regulated, and you never really know what's in them no matter what the package says. MROs (Medical Review Officers) will not accept OTC shite you buy at a gas station or smoke shop as a medical explanation to overturn your test. The federal max level of Delta-9 THC allowed is .3%.
TL-DR: If you are subject to drug testing, buyer beware with OTC hemp products, delta-8, or the emerging delta-10. Don't want any BAWs losing their jobs thinking it's not going to show up.

Accurate. I hear a lot of whining about people getting canned over it.

Oh. I guess if you're paid to be an a-hole, it's okay.

Is he really any good if he let the bill pass in 2022 and just realized what’s happening and now he’s crying like a bitch trying to get them to overturn it?

You are incorrect. on an instant test (immunoassay) maybe, but gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry only test for and are specific for ONLY delta-9 THC.

Been in the role for nearly 17 years. I would not say that the beer world has progressed under his "leadership".

Rumor going around, and it’s probably bullshite, is that companies are about to go to strictly mouth swabs for THC in Louisiana. The mouth swabs are supposedly 18 hour tests.
I wouldn’t even know where to look to confirm that.
