New York CBD/Hemp regulations include max 25mg/serving

New York plans to introduce plan to legalize marijuana but also regulate CBD and Hemp products including beverages and food items (which is currently not allowed in NY state). They hope to have the Hemp/CBD regulations passed by April 1st of 2021. The Hemp pilot program will also be extended until September 2021.

““How do you regulate that? What are the parameters around it? What’s permissible? What’s not?” he said. “We dug deep. I don’t know that we’ll get everything right. We had to make some calls.”” says the government imposing lasting regulation on a non-harmful plant product.

“We think of this in terms of consumer protection. Those products are already out there. There’s no sense in trying to pretend they’re not,” he said, adding that one way they’re planning to ensure those protections is to set a maximum 25 milligram CBD dose per serving.

I wonder how the serving size thing (among other regulations) will be enforced like if someone has hypothetically a 500mg CBD edible all they would need to do is put “serving size = small square of edible of 25mg, not whole edible” if it’s easy as that to get around or how they will judge it.

Nothing in the article about home grow for adult use or medical. Medical patients need fair access, not CBD soda. New York will probably continue fucking this up.
