Tennessee's ban on THCa hemp products is delayed until June 2026, allowing current licenses to expire under old rules. The Alcoholic Beverage Commission will oversee the industry from Jan. 1 but postpone THCa enforcement. Hemp advocates see this as a win, providing time to push for legislative changes like tax adjustments. Regulators plan to hire staff and crack down on non-compliant sales.
