“I rise this morning to address the growing threat of Delta 8 across communities in Nebraska. For anyone who may not be following this issue yet, Delta 8 is a variant of THC and is derived from cannabis. Today, retailers across Nebraska are selling THC-laced products aimed at kids. For example, a retailer in Madison County has allegedly been selling gummies containing 200 times the level of THC needed to send a kid to the hospital. Delta 8 products are made to look like common types of candy or snacks to appeal to children. I am glad Nebraska is cracking down on Delta 8, which are illegal even in States that have legalized recreational marijuana. Attorney General Mike Hilgers has filed complaints in 10 counties across Nebraska as he works to confront this challenge. I commend him and others across the country who are taking action to stop the threat of Delta 8 that is hurting our children. Mr. Speaker, I encourage everyone watching to visit AGO.Nebraska.gov to learn more. Saluting Nebraska State Treasurer Tom Briese”
