A full ban is not necessary. We need regulation, not prohibition. The hemp industry has been asking for regulation for years. A ban hurts farmers, small business owners & employees, and millions of consumers.

I hate those sketchy products too - they give the entire industry a bad name.

The legislation also criminalizes non-intoxicating full-spectrum CBD products that millions of people use to manage medical conditions. Why do you think it’s a good idea to take away grandma’s CBD salve for her joint pain?

Oh, I wasn’t saying cannabis is federally legal - it’s been illegal for decades. I just said that the new law doesn’t change anything for dispensaries in legal states. They are already selling federally illegal products.

I wonder what the testing requirements will be once the new law takes effect? Could I switch back to my former lab so my COAs show zero THC and then claim plausible deniability? I doubt it… 😕

The lab I used for years can’t detect amounts under 0.5mg. The COAs made my full spectrum CBD products looked like isolate, so I switched labs so the minors would be visible.

The legislation bans all full-spectrum CBD. CBD isolate would theoretically still be legal, but language in the bill poses challenges for production.

The hemp ban was passed. Trump signed it into law on 11/12.

The legislation doesn’t affect medical or recreational cannabis in legal states. It criminalizes hemp products with >0.4mg of THC per container.

Every state will be impacted, full stop. Not dispensaries, but hemp products will no longer be available on regular store shelves, and most of the companies making hemp products will be forced out of business.

The legislation doesn’t affect medical or recreational cannabis in legal states - those products are already federally illegal. Hemp products are being criminalized.

Symbolic??? Hardly. This law will close thousands of businesses. Millions of people will lose access to medicine they rely of to manage medical conditions.

The new law does not affect medical or recreational cannabis in legal states. Those products are already federally illegal and have been for decades. It criminalizes hemp products containing >0.4mg of THC per container.

Weed has been federally illegal for decades. The new legislation won’t affect dispensaries in legal states - all those products are federally illegal already.

All full-spectrum CBD contains more than 0.4 mg of THC per container, so it will all be illegal next year.

The bill bans any hemp product with >0.4mg of THC per container (not per serving). This includes all full spectrum CBD. Medical and recreational cannabis are not affected.

I’m in a legal state (Vermont), and there’s a steady demand for my full-spectrum CBD products, which will be illegal.

I will likely have to go out of business because I will no longer be able to sell through any of my usual channels, so my products won’t be available in dispensaries.

The bill doesn’t affect medical or recreational cannabis, just hemp products.

0.4kg? You’re a little off… it’s actually 0.4mg, one million times less than 0.4kg.
