Kentucky Judge Rules in Favor of THC Industry

A judge in Kentucky, USA, showed bias towards the state's THC industry while enforcing the law. A THC industry association stated in a press release that the judge ruled that products containing delta-8 THC are legal.

One year ago, the state's KHA association celebrated the ruling as a "huge victory for farmers and retailers." The issue should have been brought to court.

Police raided a licensed Kentucky THC store to crackdown on the delta-8 THC market. According to mjbizdaily, despite federal legalization of THC in 2018, a memorandum from the Department of Agriculture deemed delta-8 THC products as a "controlled substance under Schedule I," making them illegal under US law. The Kentucky Hemp Association (KHA) subsequently filed a lawsuit against the department, the state agriculture commissioner, and the state police chief, demanding they cease the raids.

Tate Hall, Vice President of KHA, stated in a press release: "In order to protect retailers, we are prepared and willing to face this challenge.
