Arizona AG Restricts Delta-8 THC, Other Hemp Derivatives Sales To Licensed Dispensaries
Arizona’s Attorney General Kris Mayes has issued an opinion classifying intoxicating hemp-derived compounds, including Delta-8 THC, as Schedule I controlled substances, thus restricting their sale exclusively to licensed cannabis dispensaries, reported HempToday.
