Hemp-Fed Cows and THC in Meat: What You Need to Know

Delta-8 THC, a psychoactive compound found in the hemp plant, is legal at the federal level due to a loophole in the 2018 Farm Bill, but is unregulated and has prompted medical and legislative concern. Delta-8 is often synthesized from cannabidiol (CBD) and is not explicitly regulated, leading to concerns about dangerous synthetics and lack of potency limits. The FDA has released guidelines warning against the consumption of delta-8 products due to the lack of research and variability in labeling. Some states have banned or restricted delta-8, while others are working to regulate the industry.
