(a) The purpose of this chapter is to protect the health and safety of Alabama residents from consumable products, often marketed toward children, that purportedly contain hemp-derived compounds. Many of these products have not been tested nor do they meet quality and safety standards. It is the intent of the Legislature to require all consumable hemp products available for sale in this state to be tested and labeled in accordance with strict standards and to prohibit the sale of these products to individuals under 21 years of age. (b) Nothing contained in this chapter relates to medical cannabis regulated under Chapter 2A of Title 20. (c) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed in a manner that affects or impedes any activity relating to hemp which is regulated by the Department of Agriculture and Industries. (d) Any federal law enacted after July 1, 2025, that conflicts with a provision of this chapter shall supersede the conflicting provision of this chapter.
