New Jersey is implementing strict new limits on THC in hemp-derived products, which will soon force many CBD drinks, gummies, and vapes off store shelves in Bloomfield. A reporter's walkthrough of Bloomfield stores shows how brightly packaged, THC-heavy products now sit beside beer and snacks, all of which could disappear as the April wind-down and November federal deadline approach.
Why it matters
The CBD crackdown in New Jersey will have a significant impact on local Bloomfield businesses that have been selling these popular hemp-derived products. This change reflects a broader shift in regulations around CBD and THC at the state and federal level, raising questions about consumer access and the future of the CBD industry.
The details
New Jersey's new limits will restrict the amount of THC allowed in hemp-derived products to 0.3% or less, down from the previous 0.5% limit. This will force many CBD drinks, gummies, and vapes off store shelves in Bloomfield, as these products often contain higher THC levels. Stores in Bloomfield that currently sell these brightly packaged, THC-heavy CBD items alongside beer and snacks will have to remove them by the April wind-down and November federal deadlines.
- New Jersey's new THC limits in hemp-derived products will go into effect in April 2026.
- The federal deadline for compliance with the new THC limits is November 2026.
