Republican lawmakers have introduced new legislation that would regulate the sale and production of delta-8, a hemp-derived cannabinoid product, the Tennessean reports. State House Majority Leader William Lamberth, R-Portland, and Sen. Richard Briggs, R-Knoxville, introduced the bill, which would ban the product from those under the age of 21, add an additional sales tax of 5% and create a regulation process of the product through the Department of Agriculture. The bill was put forth after legislation to ban the product failed last year.
