Virginia Hemp Businesses Seek Injunction Against 2-Milligram THC Cap

Published Aug 3, 2026

Seven Virginia hemp businesses filed a federal challenge to the state’s Aug. 15 elimination of the 25:1 CBD-to-THC exception, which will cap hemp products at 2 milligrams of total THC per package. The plaintiffs seek to block enforcement on constitutional grounds; Oklahoma operators should treat the case as a warning that rapid potency-rule changes can strand inventory and trigger channel-based competition disputes.
