Listen "How the bill that ended the shutdown could threaten the U.S. hemp industrys future"

Episode Synopsis

The bill that ended the government shutdown threatens the U.S. hemp industry's future by including a provision that effectively bans most existing hemp-derived consumable products, including those containing CBD, Delta-8, and other cannabinoids. The legislation redefines hemp to be more restrictive, requiring that the total THC concentration (including Delta-8, Delta-10, and THCA) be no more than 0.3% on a dry weight basis. Previously, the 2018 Farm Bill only measured Delta-9 THC concentration, creating a loophole that allowed for the development of popular psychoactive hemp products.Don’t miss our latest episodes!
