IN CASE YOU MISSED IT...Mitch McConnell is leading the Republican push to ban hemp products containing THC

They are trying to slip it into the "REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT" bill so that it passes with no discussion, no debate, and most likely never having been read by members of Congress who are notorious for not reading what they sign. Oh, that RASCAL Mitch! No wonder he is so universally loved and respected.

Congress is considering a ban on hemp products, leaving local CBD businesses and farmers concerned about their future.

The ban, led by Senator Mitch McConnell and Maryland Congressman Andy Harris, would alter the language classifying hemp products under the 2026 Agriculture and FDA Appropriations Bill.

"The provision would close the hemp loophole that has resulted in the proliferation of unregulated intoxicating hemp products. The existing hemp definition has resulted in an unintended consequence that has allowed for intoxicating hemp-derived synthetic products to be made and sold.

Depending on how they construct the law, if they do a no-THC ban, there's no way to grow industrial hemp without THC in the product. So if they eliminate that, it's going to eliminate every hemp farmer in the country," said Jeremy Dybdahl, a CBD business owner in Berrien Springs.
