Whether you’re launching a hemp tea startup or scaling a Delta-9 beverage empire, we’ve got the playbook to keep you compliant, competitive, and crushing it.
Hemp-Infused Beverages
Why Hemp-Derived Beverages Need Top-Tier Legal Counsel
Hemp-derived beverages—those containing not more than 0.3% delta-9 THC on a dry-weight basis — are legal under the 2018 Farm Bill, but that’s where the simplicity ends. The FDA is still dragging its feet, states are writing their own rules, and new enforcement risks lurk around every corner. You’re not just crafting a drink; you’re navigating a legal minefield. That’s why you need a law firm that gets hemp-infused beverage regulations inside and out.
