On Friday, State Representative Kip Capley took the opportunity to remind both merchants and their employees about the legal restrictions surrounding the sale of hemp products in Tennessee. He emphasized that it is against the law to knowingly sell these products to individuals under the age of 21. Capley pointed out a straightforward guideline: if a person is not old enough to legally consume alcohol, they should also be considered too young to buy hemp products. This legislation, which Capley co-sponsored, officially took effect in July 2023, reinforcing the state’s commitment to regulating the sale of hemp-related items.
