Pennsylvania AG Joins Bipartisan Push Urging Congress to Close Hemp Loophole on Delta-8 Sales

The bipartisan coalition seeks to clarify hemp’s federal definition to curb unregulated synthetic THC sales.

Overview

  • Attorney General Dave Sunday joined a multistate letter urging Congress to address hemp-derived cannabinoids by redefining hemp at the federal level.
  • The coalition asks lawmakers to halt sales of unregulated products containing synthesized THC compounds such as delta-8, delta-10 and THC‑O.
  • The letter was sent to congressional committee leaders including Rep. Glenn “GT” Thompson, who chairs the House Agriculture Committee.
  • The FDA warns these products carry safety risks and are not approved for safe use, citing about 22 recent adverse-event reports including vomiting and hallucinations.
  • Reports list either 38 or 39 attorneys general as signatories, while Pennsylvania currently permits 21+ purchases and allows shipments from other states.
