New hemp regulations go into effect on the Gulf Coast

[[{“value”:”

>> BEEN A SCARY SITUATION, RIGHT? ABSOLUTELY. SOME BIG CHANGES COMING TO HEMP PRODUCTS HERE ON OUR GULF COAST. STARTING TOMORROW, NEW REGULATIONS ARE GOING TO CHANGE THE PACKAGING AND HOW THESE PRODUCTS ARE LABELED AND THEY’RE GONNA CHANGE THE REQUIREMENTS, POSSIBLY. OUR GULF COAST NEWS REPORTER KENDALL BRAND IS BREAKING DOWN WHAT YOU MIGHT SEE AT SMOKE SHOPS STARTING TOMORROW. >> IF YOU WANT TO BUY HEMP PRODUCTS LIKE THIS IN THE GULF COAST WILL NOW BE PAYING A BIT MORE IN TAX STARTING JULY FIRST. BUT STARTING TOMORROW, YOUR PRODUCTS WILL LOOK A BIT DIFFERENT. THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE WILL START TO ENFORCE PACKAGING AND LABELING REQUIREMENTS PAST IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR. THE PRODUCTS MUST NOW HAVE CHILD RESISTANT PACKAGING, KNOW CARTOONS, DEPICTIONS OF ANIMALS OR OTHER IMAGES APPEALING TO CHILDREN SERVING SIZES AND HOUSEHOLD MEASUREMENTS. A SCANNABLE QR CODE WITH PRODUCTS TESTING INFORMATION. THE REQUIRED INFO ALSO CALLED THE CERTIFICATE OF ANALYSIS HAS ALSO CHANGED. IT MUST INCLUDE LAINFORMATION, TOTAL DELTA, 9 THC, CONCENTRATION AND SHOW CONFIRMATION OF PROHIBITED SUBSTANCES ARE PRESENT. PEOPLE I SPOKE WITH IN DOWNTOWN FORT MYERS SAY THEY HAVE MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT THCHANGES IN REGULATION. WELL, I THINK IT’S IMPORTANT THAT THE STATE BE ABLE TO COLLECT TAXES AND GENERATE REVENUE FROM THE PRODUCTS THAT THEY SELL. AND REALLY GRATEFUL THAT THE FLORIDA RESIDENTS IN THE FLORIDA GOVERNOR HAS MADE THIS AVAILABLE. 2 RESIDENTS AND ADULTS WHO WANT TO PURCHASE IT. I I DON’T REALLY THINK THAT RESTRICTIONS ON WHAT GROWN ADULTS CAN PURCHASE OUR REALLY FAVORABLE. IT’S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT HEMP IS NOT THE SAME AS MARIJUANA. BOTH COME FROM THE CANNABIS SATIVA PLANT. BUT HEMP HAS 3% OR LESS THC EMPLOYEES. I SPOKE WITH THAT 3 SMOKE SHOPS OFF CAMERA TOLD ME THEY’RE READY FOR THE CHANGES. SOME I SPOKE WITH WERE NOT EVEN AWA
