Bipartisan Bill Proposes Alcohol-Style Regulation for Hemp Drinks Amid Federal Ban Delay
Rep. Beth Van Duyne and Rep. Greg Landsman introduced the Beverage Regulatory Parity Act to regulate hemp THC drinks like alcohol, allowing up to 5mg of intoxicating THC per serving. The bill follows a Senate vote delaying the federal hemp ban until December 11, 2026, and includes a new federal tax of 8 cents per milligram of THC.
