Florida lawmakers are continuing efforts to keep alternative marijuana products out of the hands of minors.
A measure (SB 1698 and HB 1613) tightening up restrictions on how hemp extract products like delta-9 are advertised is moving through committees in both chambers.
The products, which can have similar hallucinogenic effects to traditional marijuana, have been the focus of regulation by the state in recent years.
This year’s proposal prohibits the products packaging or advertisements from displaying cartoons, toys or other features that specifically target children.
Lakewood Ranch Republican Rep. Tommy Gregory says although a hemp regulation bill was passed last year, his bill is looking to address concerns that have arose since then.
