(Richmond)- A federal judge has ruled Virginia’s new law restricting the sale of popular hemp products can remain in effect. Virginia’s new law, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by Governor Youngkin earlier this year, took effect on July 1. The law requires all hemp products for sale in Virginia to have less than 0.3% concentration of THC, unless the products meet other criteria. The ruling rejected a request filed by two Virginia business owners and a resident which would have prevented the state from enforcing the law until their lawsuit challenging its legality could go to trial.
