Sellers of hemp-derived products such as Delta-8 and CBD say a few lines in a recreational cannabis bill making its way through the Maryland legislature will put them out of business. The THC cap for non-licensed products is set too low, they argue.

Delta-8, which has a chemical structure nearly identical to THC, the main psychoactive component in cannabis, has rapidly grown into an industry that some estimate has $50 million of annual revenue in Maryland. The General Assembly considered banning it during the recent session but opted instead for a yearlong study.
