An Act promoting the growing and use of hemp and hemp products

This bill amends existing Massachusetts laws to formally recognize hemp as an agricultural commodity and to clarify the legal definitions of hemp, cannabidiol (CBD), and hemp products. It requires the state's Cannabis Control Commission to monitor federal hemp activities and allows CBD to be sold in food products at licensed marijuana establishments and medical marijuana treatment centers. Additionally, the legislation mandates that the Department of Public Health create specific regulations for manufacturing CBD in food, while ensuring these sales remain under the jurisdiction of the Cannabis Control Commission.
