Federal Hemp Ban Threatens $28B Industry and 225,000 Jobs

A federal law set to take effect on December 11, 2026, will ban most hemp-derived THC products, threatening a $28 billion industry and 225,000 jobs. The ban, inserted into a 2025 funding bill by Sen. Mitch McConnell, closes a loophole in the 2018 Farm Bill that allowed hemp products to contain high THC levels. While the hemp industry lobbies for compromises like age restrictions, the regulated marijuana sector argues the loophole was exploited. Companies are diversifying or closing as the deadline approaches.

She should first talk with him to understand his reasoning and any underlying issues, address safety and marijuana risks, and avoid informing the nephews’ mother until she has full context, since the situation could affect custody and family trust.

CDC study links rising ER visits to cannabis hyperemesis syndrome in heavy marijuana users

A CDC analysis of emergency-department data from about 7,500 facilities finds diagnoses of cannabis hyperemesis syndrome rose 16% from October to May after a dedicated diagnosis code was introduced, with nearly 200,000 syndrome-related ER visits since January 2023. The surge is largest among people aged 15–24, teenage girls and women, and among Black Americans and American Indian/Alaska Native groups, suggesting underdiagnosis in the past and highlighting the need for greater awareness and further research into high-potency THC and hemp-derived products’ impact on younger users.

Barr and Sabet Warn Against Marijuana Rescheduling Over Health Risks

Former Trump-era Attorney General William Barr and anti-legalization advocate Kevin Sabet publish a Washington Post op-ed arguing marijuana has horrific health risks, offers no proven medical value, and should not be rescheduled; the piece comes as the DEA weighs broader rescheduling amid testimony on medical benefits, even as a 2023 HHS analysis acknowledged some medical value. Opponents warn that rescheduling could unlock tax deductions under 280E and boost industry marketing, while lawsuits continue challenging the process.
