How Local Control, SPF Planning, and California State Law AB-8 regulate availability of Intoxicating Hemp Products
Thursday, June 11, 2026
2:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. PT
Overview
This overview webinar describes use of SPF (Strategic Prevention Framework) planning to mobilize community action and regulatory oversight (Local Control) to support State policies regulating intoxicating substances (State Control). Our case-study LA County Smoke Shop Project works with LA County localities to implement AB-8’s ban on retail sale of intoxicating hemp cannabinoids (hemp-THC) at “smoke shops” and other retail outlets. Participants learn how smoke shops sell intoxicating hemp products, often hiding in plain sight. Participants learn how SPF assesses availability of hemp-THC and builds community partnerships to work with AB-8 to reduce local retail availability of hemp-THC products.
