AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would create a federal system for regulating non-alcoholic drinks made with cannabinoids from U.S.-grown hemp. It would exempt these beverages from a per-container limit set by a 2026 law, as long as each serving has no more than 5 milligrams of intoxicating THC. The Treasury's Tax and Trade Bureau would issue permits and set up a three-tier system of manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, with labeling and advertising rules modeled on alcohol rules. The FDA would regulate the drinks as food, and sales to or purchases by anyone under 21 would be illegal. The bill would also impose a federal tax of 8 cents per milligram of intoxicating THC, and states, local governments and tribes could still limit or ban these drinks.
