DES MOINES, Iowa [KCCI] — A bill making its way through the Iowa House could limit the amount of THC allowed in products sold across the state. HF 2605 includes a number of regulations of hemp and hemp products. The original version of the bill would let the Department of Health and Human Services determine the limit on the amount of THC per serving and per container.

But an amendment filed Tuesday by Rep. Steven Holt, of Denison, would allow Iowa lawmakers to put a specific limit in code. Holt is proposing a limit of 2 milligrams of THC per serving and 10 milligrams per container.  Holt says the bill is needed. He argues the hemp industry is getting out of hand.

The bill has been up for debate multiple times on the House floor. But it has been pulled from the debate list. Holt said the reason why they haven’t debated the bill yet is because he and his colleagues are still deciding how they want to set the limit. For business owners like Ashley Powell, the bill is a nightmare. The owner of CBD American Shaman said the majority of her sales come from THC products.

But with the potential limits that could be imposed, she said she wouldn’t be allowed to sell the majority of her products. Powell said unless the amount is over 15 milligrams per serving, her business will not survive. Holt said even 10 milligrams per serving is too much.

It is unclear when the House will debate the bill.
