Sec. 5-64-215(a)(5)(A)(i): substances in Schedule VI include a product derived from industrial hemp that was produced as a result of a synthetic chemical process that converted the industrial hemp or a substance contained in the industrial hemp into delta-8, delta-9, delta-6a,10a, or delta-10 tetrahydrocannabinol including their respective acetate esters and other intoxicating hemp products as defined in Sec. 20-56-501 et seq.; and (k) An intoxicating hemp product as defined under Sec. 20-56-501 et seq. Sec. 20-56-502(17)(A): 'Intoxicating hemp product' means a finished product intended for human consumption that is derived from or contains hemp or hemp extract and contains a total tetrahydrocannabinol concentration that exceeds zero percent (0%) when tested in its finished form. (C) 'Intoxicating hemp product' does not include a consumable hemp product or medical marijuana regulated under the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Amendment of 2016. Sec. 20-56-502(4): 'Consumable hemp product' means a finished product that includes part of the hemp plant, including naturally derived cannabinoids, compounds, concentrates, extracts, isolates, or derivatives that is intended for human consumption and not marketed for intoxicating effect and is: (A) a cosmetic; (B) generally recognized as safe by the FDA; or (C) a product that has no more than one milligram (1 mg) of total tetrahydrocannabinol per container and minimum ratio of cannabidiol to tetrahydrocannabinol of greater than fifteen to one (15:1). Sec. 20-56-503(c): A product intended for human consumption or inhalation that is derived from hemp and contains tetrahydrocannabinol shall not be permitted or allowed under the laws of this state, other than consumable hemp products if otherwise legal under state law. Sec. 5-64-101(16)(B)(vii) (marijuana exclusion): excludes 'Consumable hemp product as defined under Sec. 20-56-501 et seq.' from the definition of marijuana -- meaning everything else derived from hemp with detectable THC remains within the marijuana/Schedule VI framework.
Compound Laws, published by Compound Analytics, reports the record: statutes verbatim, official citations, enforcement facts and verification dates. Nothing here is legal advice and nothing here describes how to get around a law. A jurisdiction with no verified row is reported as not yet verified, never as legal. Found an error?
