Hemp Ban Set to Be Delayed a Month After House Passes Funding Bill
The delay gives lawmakers 30 more days to negotiate restrictions as the hemp-derived THC industry says it supports tighter rules on products sold to children.
- On Tuesday, the House of Representatives passed a government funding bill in a 370-48 vote, delaying the federal recriminalization of hemp-derived THC products until December 11.
- President Donald Trump urged the delay to provide lawmakers more time to craft a regulatory framework, seeking to avoid broad recriminalization scheduled for November.
- While the $28 billion hemp industry praised the extension as a "lifeline," Rep. Andy Harris criticized it, claiming "this is all about allowing gas station weed to continue to be available to our children."
- Industry leaders and lawmakers face a 30-day window to negotiate robust regulations balancing public health protections with continued access to full-spectrum CBD products for seniors and veterans.
- The legislation, which the Senate passed in August with a 90-6 vote, now heads to President Donald Trump for signature, setting guardrails for the Department of War.
