<H2>Louisiana Implements New THC and CBD Regulations for 2025</H2>
<p>Louisiana is ringing in the New Year with significant amendments to its THC and CBD product legislation, effective January 1, 2025.

This strategic shift aims to balance consumer accessibility with safety, reflecting broader regulatory trends seen nationwide.</p>
<p>One notable provision prohibits gas stations from distributing these cannabinoid products, centralizing sales within more controlled environments. Moreover, the legal age for cannabis purchases has now been raised to 21, aligning Louisiana with a growing list of states implementing stricter age restrictions. Canna Daily News continues to monitor how these legislative modifications will reshape the cannabis landscape in the Bayou State.</p>
<H2>California's Regulatory Shift: Securing Consumer Safety</H2>
<p>The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has taken decisive steps toward making emergency regulations on hemp-derived products permanent.
