A federal appeals court ruled last week that the 2018 law removing most restrictions on hemp legalized the ingredient delta-8 THC, which has psychoactive and intoxicating effects similar to the marijuana ingredient delta-9 THC.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals at San Francisco ruled May 19 in a copyright and trademark suit by AK Futures that alleged Boyd Street Distro was selling counterfeit versions of its delta-8 THC products. Boyd Street Distro had claimed that it couldn’t be sued because federal law bans possession and sale of delta-8 THC.
