THE RECORD
The industry asked for rules. It got a ban.
Before any deadline existed, AHAA and its members petitioned Congress for a real regulatory framework. Compare it to what Section 781 delivers instead.
WHAT THE INDUSTRY ASKED FOR
21-and-over age limits on every sale
Mandatory third-party testing
Child-resistant packaging
Honest, accurate labeling
American-grown sourcing standards
WHAT WASHINGTON WROTE INSTEAD
A 0.4 mg total-THC cap — per container
An estimated ~95% of products eliminated*
Tested, labeled products treated as contraband
No pathway for compliant businesses
A deadline instead of a framework
