A group of hemp businesses and a Virginia resident have filed a lawsuit that would prevent the state’s enforcement of a new Virginia law regarding products that contain higher amounts of THC — or tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive component in cannabis that causes a high. The new law — signed on April 12 by Governor Glenn Youngkin — banned hemp products with more than two milligrams of THC. Youngkin’s administration said the enforcement was part of his efforts to crack down on synthetic products like delta-8 THC, which went into effect on July 1. The requested order filed by the businesses — including Northern Virginia Hemp and Agriculture LLC and Franny’s Operations Inc. — and Virginia resident, Rose Lane, was denied by a federal judge in Alexandria.
