Delta 9 and consumable hemp in Iowa could face THC caps

State of play: An amendment introduced Tuesday by Iowa Rep. Steve Holt (R-Crawford) would cap consumable THC to 2mg per serving or 10mg per container.

• It was added to a House bill focused on consumable hemp restrictions.

For example: Climbing Kites' "high potency" drink contains 10mg of THC — but it's unclear if one can of the drink would legally be defined as a serving or a container.

What they're saying: The 2mg cap of THC is "absurdly low" and similar to a microdose, JC Cirese, owner of Despensary, tells Axios.

• If it passes, the bill would put a "huge dent in our business," he says.

What's next: The bill and amendment are eligible for debate in the Iowa House and would still need Senate approval.
