On September 16, 2024, proposed rules were published that would prohibit HHC, THCP and THC-OAc from products sold in the state.Under the new guidelines, consumable products also would fail testing if “greater than 10% of the total cannabinoid peak area is comprised of unknown cannabinoids.” https://mjbizdaily.com/utah-proposes-amendment-to-ban-artificial-cannabinoids-in-hemp/
Topicals/Edibles (0.3% ∆9 or less): no food allowed but gummies shaped as basic geometric forms, such as cubes or rectangular cuboids, are OK provided they avoid shapes appealing to children like stars or animals
