- The Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA) recommend creating a regulatory category for hemp-derived cannabinoids.
- WSWA's recommendation could impact and potentially regulate the CBD and delta-8 THC industry.
The Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA) recently proposed Congress establish an entirely new regulatory classification for hemp-derived cannabinoids. This proposition, suggested in a formal letter, addresses the increasingly popular compounds of the hemp industry - CBD and delta-8 THC - which are currently struggling with a lack of clear regulation.
WSWA’s logic is based on learning from history and the regulatory models in which it has participated. The wholesaling association points to the alcohol industry’s accumulated experience in managing intoxicating substances as a blueprint for overseeing hemp-derived cannabinoids. It underscores the alcohol industry's successful development and implementation of a secure and effective system, which maintains public safety while allowing a lucrative industry to prosper.
