House Committee's Farm Bill Amendment Threatens Hemp-Derived Cannabinoid Industry
TL;DR
A House committee has approved an amendment to the Farm Bill that would ban most hemp-derived cannabinoid products, including delta-8 THC, potentially criminalizing many CBD products. The amendment aims to close a loophole from the 2018 Farm Bill, but faces opposition from some lawmakers and industry stakeholders who argue it could devastate the hemp industry and eliminate jobs. The bill also includes provisions to reduce regulatory barriers for certain hemp farmers and scale back restrictions on those with prior drug felony convictions.
