AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoHemp & CBD Policy Shake-Up (US): North Carolina senators approved a crackdown that would ban most “intoxicating hemp” products (total THC over 0.4 mg) and restrict hemp consumables to adults 21+, adding limits on xylazine and synthetic kratom—another sign of tightening rules for CBD-adjacent wellness. Regulatory Compliance Pressure (US): A new federal hemp measurement approach tied to total THC (including THCA) is already forcing CBD brands to rethink what they can promote in guest posts, with fewer compliant product angles and higher risk for publishers. Transport Drug Enforcement (Malaysia): Malaysia’s anti-drug push at Gombak Toll Plaza led to two driver arrests after urine tests flagged methamphetamine and marijuana, with possible license suspensions. Crackdowns & Seizures (Philippines): Bicol police reported major June seizures—shabu plus marijuana—along with hundreds of arrests as anti-illegal drug operations ramped up. Global Cannabis Crime Link (Thailand): In Pattaya, a British woman was arrested after her boyfriend—described as a cannabis farm operator—was found stabbed in a luxury home; police say she appeared heavily intoxicated by cannabis. Health Warning (South Africa): Gauteng health officials warned of rising substance-induced psychosis among youth, stressing early intervention and treatment. CBD Market/Brand Notes (UK/US): Court and police reports across the week continued to mix cannabis cases with broader drug enforcement, while retail and wellness coverage highlighted how CBD drink demand and hemp rules are colliding.
