Hemp law is moving fast—and the definition of what’s “legal” is shifting along with it.
McCarter partner Ryan Magee moderates a panel examining recent federal and New Jersey legal developments that have reshaped the definition, regulation, and enforcement of hemp products this past year. The presentation, hosted by the New Jersey State Bar Association at its 2026 Annual Meeting and Convention, addresses how changes in statutory language, agency guidance, and enforcement priorities affect hemp product, possession, and sales. The discussion concludes with practical compliance considerations, emerging legal risks, and anticipated regulatory trends relevant to attorneys, regulators, and industry stakeholders.
