Senate Delays Hemp Ban to Allow Regulatory Framework

The Senate rejected Sen. Budd’s attempt to recriminalize hemp-derived products by a November deadline and instead backed a continuing resolution that pushes the hemp prohibition back to December 11, with a carve-out allowing immediate recriminalization of certain non-naturally produced synthetic cannabinoids on November 12. Proponents say the delay buys time to craft a federal regulatory framework for low-dose hemp products, while the White House and CMS warn about impacts on Medicare coverage and consumer safety. House lawmakers had already passed a CR without hemp changes, and a wave of bills proposing delays and regulations are circulating in both chambers, though none have gained traction yet.

MAGA Rift Deepens Over Hemp Ban Centered on Susie Wiles

The White House flips on a hemp-ban policy tied to a stopgap funding bill, with Susie Wiles—Trump’s longtime aide nicknamed the “ice maiden”—at the center amid scrutiny over ties to an in‑law’s hemp business. While the White House denies lobbying on hemp, lawmakers voice confusion and debate whether to delay or enforce the ban, leading to tense exchanges in meetings and highlighting a growing MAGA internal rift over the issue.

Hemp Ban Delay Clouds Wiles’ Family Ties in D.C.

MS NOW reports that a White House reversal to delay the hemp ban could benefit Susie Wiles’ son-in-law, Bret Worley, CEO of MC Nutraceuticals, a major hemp-products maker; the White House says Wiles or Worley had no role, but the delay could influence stopgap funding talks and has drawn GOP skepticism after NYT noted MC Nutraceuticals’ messaging about industry influence.

GOP splits over delaying hemp ban amid White House THC plan

Senate Republicans are debating a White House–backed one-month delay to the hemp-derived THC ban as part of a stopgap funding bill; Sen. Budd's amendment to remove the delay is gaining support, while White House liaison James Braid pledged no further delays beyond the measure. The dispute highlights GOP infighting ahead of votes and the August recess, with a separate clash over Sen. Cruz's college sports bill also in play.

White House pushes three-week hemp ban delay, GOP cites potential conflict of interest

Hemp ban showdown crowds NC Capitol as lawmakers push bill

Hundreds of protesters packed the North Carolina Capitol as Republicans pushed HB 328 to ban most intoxicating hemp products and impose stricter age limits, with the measure having passed the Senate and a House vote delayed. Gov. Josh Stein backs some provisions but opposes a near-total ban, while law-enforcement groups back stricter controls and hemp-industry onlookers warn of economic disruption as lawmakers decide the bill’s fate alongside budget and elections changes.

Budd Pushes Amendment to Lock in November Hemp Ban

Sen. Ted Budd (R-NC) says he will file an amendment to the current continuing resolution to strip out a provision that delays the November recriminalization of hemp-derived products, effectively aiming to keep the hemp ban on track; the CR (H.R. 6500) would delay the ban to December 11 with a carve-out for certain synthetics, while lawmakers from both parties push competing bills to regulate rather than prohibit hemp products and industry groups advocate for a regulatory framework.

Senate Extends Window to Regulate Hemp THC Drinks, Delaying Recriminalization

A Senate continuing resolution includes provisions to delay the federal recriminalization of hemp-derived products, including low-dose hemp THC beverages, until December 11 and allows a carve-out for synthetic cannabinoids. The move is praised by BAMCO and other alcohol-industry groups, who want hemp drinks integrated into the existing three-tier system with testing, labeling, and taxation. House bills seeking delay and regulation are circulating, and the White House has signaled support for a regulatory framework, while lawmakers from both parties are pursuing various bills to avert the ban.

Texas hemp sector fights back against broad THC ban

Three hemp retailers and a distributor filed a federal lawsuit in the Southern District of Texas alleging that Texas's ban on hemp-derived THC products (including delta-8 and delta-10) violates the 2018 Farm Bill and unduly burdens interstate commerce; they seek a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction as state officials reclassify hemp-derived THC as Schedule I, while delta-9 products under 0.3% remain legal, and thousands of licensed stores could be affected.

Federal THC-cap shakes up Florida hemp beverage market

A new federal rule taking effect Nov. 12 caps total THC per container at 0.4 mg, banning many hemp-derived drinks and edibles and potentially forcing layoffs and store closures in Florida. Supporters argue the cap helps prevent intoxicating products from reaching children, while retailers warn it could wipe out most inventory and threaten livelihoods; lawmakers have introduced bills to delay or overturn the rule, with the industry seeking ways to cope as November approaches.

Senate moves to pause hemp ban, steering toward regulations

The Senate Appropriations Committee’s continuing-resolution bill would push back the planned federal recriminalization of hemp-derived products to December 11 (from November 12) and carve out a carve-out for synthetic cannabinoids, while funding federal agencies through December. Advocates say the delay gives time to push for a regulatory framework instead of an outright ban, though the House has not included similar hemp provisions and both chambers must agree. Separately, lawmakers from both parties are circulating bills to delay or regulate hemp products, with White House officials expressing support for a regulatory approach. President Trump has urged Congress to delay or revise the ban, and CMS is implementing an initiative affecting hemp-CBD products for seniors, as retailers expand hemp-derived beverages and related products.

Texas Bans Most Hemp-Derived THC, Delta-9 Alone Remains Legal

Texas will prohibit most hemp-derived THC products (including delta-8, delta-10, THCP, and THCA flower) effective July 31, 2026, while delta-9 products with less than 0.3% THC by dry weight stay legal. Possessing banned products becomes a state jail felony (180 days–2 years) with fines up to $10,000. The move follows a Texas Supreme Court ruling reclassifying hemp-derived THC as a schedule I substance and could remove 60%–90% of THC items from shelves, threatening many hemp businesses; delta-9 products and, for now, delta-9 smokeable hemp remain available.

Texas tightens hemp-THC rules, banning delta-8 with felony penalties

Texas now bans most synthetic hemp-derived THC products, including delta-8, delta-10, and THCA, after a Texas Supreme Court ruling; only delta-9 products with no more than 0.3% delta-9 remain legal, with possession of banned items punishable as a state jail felony up to two years and a $10,000 fine; smokable hemp remains under court review, while low-THC medical cannabis remains available under the Compassionate Use Program.

Texas tightens hemp THC rules, banning most synthetic forms while allowing low-THC delta-9 under 0.3%

Texas’ Supreme Court ruling that the Department of State Health Services can reclassify most hemp-derived THC as Schedule I goes into effect, banning the sale and possession of all synthetically created THC (including delta-8, delta-10, THCP, THCA). An exception applies to delta-9 products with less than 0.3% THC by dry weight, which may be sold in forms such as smokable products, CBD oil, gummies and edibles, topicals, and infused foods/drinks. Possessing or manufacturing the banned products will be a state jail felony, carrying 180 days to two years in prison and fines up to $10,000.

Texas narrows hemp THC options as delta-8 ban takes effect

Texas will ban most hemp-derived THC products—including delta-8 and delta-10—starting July 31, 2026, while delta-9 products with 0.3% or less THC by dry weight remain legal; the move follows a Texas Supreme Court ruling that reclassified hemp-derived THC as a schedule I substance. Possession of illegal THC will become a state jail felony with up to two years’ imprisonment and fines up to $10,000, and industry observers expect major reductions in shelf space (estimates of 60–90%). Some shops are preparing lawsuits, and the delta-9 market may persist in some forms, with delta-9 smokable hemp still available due to a court pause on that ban.
