In an amusing series of events, both the extreme opponents to marijuana and those who support its legalization are calling on Gov. Kay Ivey to veto legislation regulating psychoactive cannabinoids like Delta 8.
The Alabama House of Representatives advanced legislation on Thursday, allowing the Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) board to regulate consumable hemp products by licensing distributors and wholesalers.

Senate Bill 66 (SB66) is sponsored by State Sen. Tim Melson (R-Florence). Similar to a bill filed by Melson in 2022, SB66 seeks to ban the sale, distribution, marketing, or possession of psychoactive cannabinoids derived from or found in hemp to any individual under 21.
