What the record says

Connecticut’s CGS 21a-425 provides that beginning January 1, 2025 no person may sell a moderate-THC hemp product at retail unless the seller is a cannabis establishment or holds a Department of Consumer Protection registration, with 21-and-over identification at every tier. Infused beverages are defined and regulated separately under the same section with their own licensing track; the record carries a 5 milligram total THC per package limit, but the beverage-specific cap was not independently verified. Retail sale of hemp-derived Delta-9 THC beverages in Connecticut is restricted to that licensed or registered, age-gated channel.

Controlling language, verbatim

Beginning on January 1, 2025, no person shall sell or offer to sell, at retail, any moderate-THC hemp product in the state to consumers unless such person is a cannabis establishment or holds a certificate of registration issued by the Commissioner of Consumer Protection pursuant to this section.
