Bill Banning Delta-8 THC Overwhelmingly Passes in Arkansas House of Representatives

Apr 5, 2023Jerry CoxMarijuanaArkansas Legislature, Marijuana

On Wednesday the Arkansas House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a good bill prohibiting Delta-8 THC in Arkansas.

S.B. 358 by Sen. Tyler Dees (R – Siloam Springs) and Rep. Jimmy Gazaway (R – Paragould) prevents Delta-8 THC from being manufactured via industrial hemp in Arkansas.

The bill would place Delta-8, Delta-9, Delta-10 THC, and other psychoactive drugs made from industrial hemp on the list of controlled substances in state law.

S.B. 358 also contains language enacting drug restrictions that would take effect if a state or federal court someday blocked Arkansas from prohibiting Delta-8 altogether.

Delta-8 THC is a mind-altering substance made from cannabis, and Arkansas law does not adequately prohibit it.

S.B. 358 is a good bill that will clarify Arkansas’ drug laws and helps provide protections against dangerous marijuana products.

The bill now goes back to the Arkansas Senate for concurrence in amendments the House made to the measure.
