A Proposed Federal #THCBan Would ‘Wipe Out’ #Hemp Products That Get People High
The provision, tucked into the spending bill that could end the US government shutdown, would ban intoxicating hemp-derived THC products, including #gummies and drinks.

Excerpt:
"The letter said the hemp-derived cannabinoid market “gave us—for the first time in decades—a new crop with real economic opportunity” and that a ban would result in “immediate and catastrophic consequences.”
According to a report from the Cannabis Business Times, sales for hemp-derived cannabinoids exceeded $2.7 billion in 2023.
“This will ultimately devastate the industry and devastate hemp farmers as well,” says attorney and hemp advocate Jonathan Miller, adding that it would “wipe out” 95 percent of hemp ingestibles.
While the provision says it will preserve “non-intoxicating CBD and industrial hemp products,” Miller disputes that, noting that the most popular hemp-derived CBD products still contain more that the proposed limit of 0.4 milligrams of THC per container. CBD products do not get people high, but are popular and used for things like insomnia and anxiety, though research on their efficacy is still limited.
Intoxicating hemp products tend to flourish more in states where cannabis is illegal, says Cat Packer, director of drug markets and legal regulation for the Drug Policy Alliance, which advocates for ending drug prohibition. Florida, for example, has a thriving market for delta-8 products; Governor Ron DeSantis vetoed an attempt to ban sales of delta-8 in 2024.
“There is a reality again that folks want these THC products and whether or not they’re illegal, folks are going to find ways to access them,” Packer says."
