As Indiana lawmakers again look to reform state marijuana policy in the 2026 session, a new poll finds that nearly three in five residents back legalizing cannabis for medical and recreational use. The annual Hoosier Survey from the Bowen Center at Ball State University (BSU) asked 600 Indianans about a variety of policy issues, from congressional redistricting to marijuana legalization. It found that 59 percent of residents are in favor of legalizing cannabis for both medical and recreational purposes. An additional 25 percent back only allowing patients to access medical marijuana, raising the total support for that reform to 84 percent. “In the last year or two, you’ve seen almost exponential growth in support, and then non-traditional support, and by that, I mean business leaders [and] parents—not your traditional college-age kid or high school person,” Andrew Bauman, executive director of The Bowen Center, told Inside Indiana Business. The survey was released just days after Indiana Rep. Mitch Gore (D) filed legislation that would effectively legalize the possession and cultivation of limited amounts of marijuana. It’s one of several reform options on the table so far in the legislature for this year’s session. Whether legislators ultimately take up any of the pending measures is yet to be seen, but cannabis reform advocates have generally struggled to make inroads in the conservative legislature over recent years. That said, the state’s GOP governor said recently that a move by President Donald Trump to federally reschedule marijuana could add “a little bit of fire” to the local push for cannabis legalization in his state. Months later, Trump did sign an executive order directing the attorney general to move cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Gov. Mike Braun (R) also said last year that he’s “amenable” to medical cannabis legalization. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

Jim Banks (R-IN), expressed opposition to state-level reform despite Trump’s prior comments previewing a rescheduling decision. “President Trump has been honest about it, that when it comes to marijuana, he said very clearly we shouldn’t smell it on the streets. You have a lot of states that have legalized it. It’s caused even more crime and issues,” Banks said. “I hope Indiana is never a state that legalizes marijuana, by the way.” The senator acknowledged, however, that there is likely to be “further conversation” about the issue. Braun, for his part, previously said that “it’s probably time” to allow access to therapeutic cannabis among patients in the state. Those comments came alongside a separate poll indicating that nearly 9 in 10 Indiana adults (87 percent) support marijuana legalization. Top Republicans in the legislature, however, have openly opposed marijuana reform. “It’s no secret that I am not for this,” Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray (R) said in late 2024. “I don’t have people coming to me with really compelling medical cases as to why it’s so beneficial. And any state that I’ve seen pass medical marijuana is essentially passing recreational marijuana.” House Speaker Todd Huston (R) doubted any medical benefits associated with marijuana, calling the substance “a deterrent to mental health.” He and others suggested that lawmakers supportive of the reform merely want to boost state revenue. A number of marijuana reform bills were introduced for the Indiana legislature’s 2025 session, including one—from Reps. Jim Lucas (R) and Shane Lindauer (R)—that would have legalized medical marijuana for people with “serious medical conditions as determined by their physician.” The post 3 In 5 Indiana Residents Support Marijuana Legalization, New Poll Finds As State Lawmakers File Reform Bills appeared first on Marijuana Moment.

“These initiatives represent the first-ever large-scale coordinated attack on adult-use markets… This is not a drill. It is the moment to come together to defeat the prohibitionists.” By Adam Smith, Marijuana Policy Project 2025 felt like a year of waiting in cannabis, but 2026 may be something else entirely. Get ready for a major pushback against adult-use markets. While much of the cannabis world spent month after month in 2025 watching (or lobbying) Congress on hemp, and the White House on rescheduling, three near-identical state ballot initiatives were being filed for the November 2026 election that would end regulated adult-use sales in Massachusetts, Maine and Arizona. The Massachusetts and Maine initiatives would also re-criminalize non-medical home grow. The Massachusetts campaign has submitted enough signatures to qualify, and awaits validation. Signature collection is ongoing in Maine and Arizona. While it’s possible that one or more of these initiatives fail to make the ballot, it’s imperative that we take them seriously and prepare for a fight. These are not symbolic protests or fringe efforts. They are coordinated campaigns run by experienced political operatives. And from the sound of it, they may already have a ton of money behind them. How Much? On December 19, the Arizona committee chair told the Arizona Capitol Times that the campaign expects to spend $5 million on signature gathering in the state, with an additional $10 to $20 million planned for the broader campaign. In Massachusetts, we estimate that at least $1 million was spent to gather signatures. Those numbers should get our attention. Meanwhile, over the past year, we saw a partially successful legislative push in Ohio to chip away at voter-approved adult-use legalization—though the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) was on the ground and helped limit the damage—as well as similar legislative efforts elsewhere. In the media, fear-based coverage of cannabis dramatically increased across mainstream outlets in 2025, while targeted anti-legalization messaging across right-wing media has worked to soften Republican support. In fact, Gallup reports that Republican support for legalization has dropped from 55 percent to 40 percent since 2023. That’s Not A Coincidence. It’s A Playbook. MPP, which has led and won more cannabis ballot initiative campaigns than anyone on either side of this issue, is already working closely with industry allies in Massachusetts to launch a “No” campaign. We expect to do the same in Maine and Arizona. These initiatives represent the first-ever large-scale coordinated attack on adult-use markets. How we as a cannabis ecosystem respond, and particularly whether and how the national cannabis business community steps up to defend itself and each other, will determine whether this attempt to roll back our progress ends here, or whether it metastasizes. “End Regulated Adult-Use Markets? How Could They Possibly Win?” Campaigns do not commit resources at this level without internal polling and strategic modeling that shows a path to victory. And sure enough, in that same Capitol Times piece, the Arizona committee chair alluded to private polling that allegedly showed less than majority support for adult-use markets in the state. The orchestrated collapse of Republican support for legalization over the past two years offers them hope as well. And if adult-use shows weakness at the ballot box in November, combined with dwindling support for legalization among Republican voters—support that could erode further as prohibitionists use these campaigns to get their message out—it would significantly strengthen the prohibitionists’ hand within the administration, in Congress and in state legislatures across the country. This is not a drill. It is the moment to come together to defeat the prohibitionists and their initiatives so convincingly that their funders stop taking their calls. Making The Big Case MPP, as it has done successfully for more than 30 years, will lead here. And while there will obviously be tactical and messaging variance between states, the core question in all three campaigns is the same: whether regulated markets are safer, smarter and more effective than returning to prohibition. It’s an opportunity that we cannot afford to miss. As recent events have begun to turn the nation’s attention back to cannabis, these campaigns provide us with an opportunity to re-center and re-engage the public conversation—not just in three states, but nationally—around the benefits of regulation versus the harms of prohibition. That conversation will focus on protecting public health and safety, reduced youth access, increased personal freedom, rational law enforcement priorities and creating jobs, economic opportunity and state revenues. Making the case against prohibition on broad public policy grounds—particularly to reach and to move people who have no particular interest in cannabis or cannabis users—is advocacy’s sweet spot. It’s what we’ve done successfully for decades, and it’s why more than half of the U.S. population now lives in states with regulated markets. When we do that, and when we defeat these efforts—loudly and convincingly—the results will redound to all aspects of cannabis and cannabinoid policy reform everywhere in the country and at all levels of government. An Attack On Us All Make no mistake, this is an attack on the entire industry and cannabis users everywhere—and on legal cannabis itself—regardless of where you live or do business. With the far better argument on our side, we won’t need to outspend the prohibitionists to beat them. But we will need to be competitive. It’s going to require real resources to run campaigns capable of getting our message and our voters out. And while we know that everyone’s struggling, with tens of thousands of cannabis-aligned businesses and professionals in the crosshairs—licensees and allied businesses alike—success cannot and will not depend on a small handful of companies or individuals financing the effort, or upon whether a single state’s industry can raise more or less money to defend themselves. Rather, success will depend on whether the national cannabis business community stands up for themselves and for each other in a show of force by making some meaningful contribution to the common defense. Failure Is Not An Option If even one of these initiatives succeeds, it would send a dangerous signal that legal cannabis markets are politically reversible. And that signal would not stop at state borders. It would ripple through capital markets, transactions, insurance underwriting, lending decisions, expansion plans and legislative debates nationwide. As Dentons partners Joanne Caceres and Hannah King warned in a Marijuana Moment op-ed about the initiatives: “Imagine the signal sent to investors if legalization proves politically reversible. The risk premium on cannabis assets would skyrocket. Lenders, insurers, and ancillary service providers would likely pull back. M&A activity, already tepid, could stall.” Even coming close could encourage a second wave of initiatives in states across the country, each requiring significant resources to oppose. These initiatives need to be beaten and beaten soundly to put an end to this. All Together Now We cannot leave our brothers and sisters—cannabis consumers, business owners, investors, employees, advocates—in Massachusetts, Maine and Arizona to sink or swim on their own. It’s imperative that we stand with them. Not only because they might otherwise be overwhelmed by prohibitionist spending, but because if they sink, we might all drown. This year, in addition to both new and ongoing legislative work across multiple states, MPP is gearing back up into campaign mode to fight for the freedom of adults to buy safe, regulated cannabis. And for the future of the legal industry that provides it. Not just in Maine, Massachusetts, and Arizona, but everywhere. Adam Smith is executive director of the Marijuana Policy Project.

New Jersey lawmakers have passed a bill to create a psilocybin therapy pilot program and allocate $6 million in funding to support the effort. Following its advancement through several House and Senate committees, both full chambers of the legislature approved the psychedelic measure on Monday, sending it to Gov. Phil Murphy (D). “Studies conducted by nationally and internationally recognized medical institutions indicate that psilocybin has shown efficacy, tolerability, and safety in the treatment of a variety of behavioral health conditions,” the bill’s findings sections says, “including, but not limited to, substance use disorders, depression, anxiety disorders, and end-of-life psychological distress.” The legislation, sponsored by Senate President Nick Scutari (D) and Sen. Joseph Vitale (D), along with Assemblymembers Clinton Calabrese (D) and Anthony S. Verrelli (D), would create an 11-member Psychedelic Therapy and Research Advisory Board to oversee the new Psilocybin Behavioral Health Services Pilot Program. “I think it’s a real opportunity for New Jersey to lead an area of medicine that is groundbreaking,” Scutari said, according to NorthJersey.com. Within 180 days of enactment, the Department of Health would be required to issue a request for proposals from hospitals that want to participate. One hospital from each of three geographic regions of the state would then be selected to receive $2 million to support psilocybin trials. “Under no circumstance shall the department establish, implement, or enforce a requirement, specification, or guideline under the pilot program that conflicts with protocols and guidelines from the United States Food and Drug Administration related to clinical trials for psychedelic substances,” the bill, whose passage was noted earlier by Heady NJ, says. After the two-year pilot program is completed, officials would submit reports to the governor and legislature including “recommendations concerning the continuation or expansion of the pilot program” as well as “recommendations as to the development and implementation of a comprehensive plan for State and local regulation of psilocybin to provide access in New Jersey for individuals who could benefit and that considers efficacy, safety, and affordability.” While the legislation as introduced would have more broadly legalized psilocybin for adult use, making it legal for adults to “possess, store, use, ingest, inhale, process, transport, deliver without consideration, or distribute without consideration, four grams or less of” the psychedelic, but it was scaled back during its advancement through the process. The amended measure would nevertheless significantly expand on legislation introduced in late 2020 to reduce penalties for possession of up to one ounce of psilocybin. That reform was signed into law by Gov. Phil Murphy (D) in 2021. Assemblywoman Lisa Swain (D), who chairs the Assembly Appropriations Committee, described the current amended bill last month as a “first step.” “I mean, you’ve heard the testimony here,” she said, referring to witnesses who argued that broader reform is needed. “This bill creates an advisory board that will be able to make determinations—for instance, whether it should be natural mushrooms or synthetic mushrooms. So that option is still on the table. It’s a pilot program and we want to get started to make sure that, as you heard, people who really need to be treated” can get access. A survey of New Jersey residents in 2024 indicated that a majority of state residents agree with making psilocybin available for therapeutic use. The poll, from Stockton University’s William J. Hughes Center for Public Policy, found that 55 percent of respondents supported legalizing psilocybin for medical use under a doctor’s supervision. Just 20 percent of respondents were opposed, while 24 percent said they weren’t sure. One percent of respondents refused to answer the question. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) to serve as the state’s next governor, and there’s now a decidedly clearer path to advancing a marijuana reform long awaited by consumers and advocates in the Garden State: A home grow option. Meanwhile, as New Jersey’s first marijuana consumption lounges opened up over the summer, regulators shared information about where to find the sites and offering tips about how to responsibly use cannabis at the licensed businesses—including classic stoner cultural customs like “puff, puff, pass.” New Jersey officials have also completed the curriculum of a no-cost marijuana training academy that’s meant to support entrepreneurs interested in entering the cannabis industry. Separately, last May Scutari filed a bill that would re-criminalize purchasing marijuana from unlicensed sources—one of the latest attempts to crack down on the illicit market and steer adults toward licensed retailers. Seemingly contradicting that claim, dozens of New Jersey small marijuana businesses and advocacy groups recently called on the legislature to allow adults to cultivate their own cannabis.

Youth marijuana use is stable amid the state legalization movement, despite prohibitionist claims to the contrary. Beyond that, more students are actually saying it’s harder to access cannabis and that they disapprove of occasional use. During a webinar on Wednesday, federal officials discussed the results of the latest Monitoring the Future (MTF) survey—which is supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and conducted every year for decades by the University of Michigan. “Looking at the students reporting use of cannabis in the last year, we didn’t see any statistically significant changes from 2024 to 2025,” NIDA’s Marsha Lopez, chief of the agency’s epidemiology research branch, said. She added that a separate question on how easy it is for teens to obtain marijuana shows that there’s an “overall trending downward of the perception of availability for cannabis use.” Notably, the 8th, 10th and 12th grade students involved in the nationally representative survey also indicated that they have a higher perception of health risks associated with occasional cannabis use. While the data over years shows that there was a “period of decline of the perception of harm,” that’s shifted even as more states have enacted legalization, she said. “That seems to have leveled off or reversed in that trend.” There was also a “statistically significance increase” in youth disapproval of occasional marijuana use. In the previous annual survey, NIDA and the University of Michigan inquired about the use of delta-8 THC, a cannabis compound that’s typically associated with synthesizing hemp-derived CBD and sold in a largely unregulated marketplace. This time, researchers asked more broadly about “cannabis products made from hemp” that could include a wider range of novel cannabinoids. “We’ll see how that evolves in the coming years, particularly with any potential changes around the laws for cannabis made from hemp,” she said. And to that point, while President Donald Trump signed agricultural legislation legalizing hemp during his first term, he also signed a spending bill last year with provisions that effectively reverse that policy. States are also increasingly enacting bans on intoxicating cannabinoid products. Lopez also flagged that the percentage of students reporting marijuana use “under a doctor’s order in their lifetime” has remained “relatively low” in the years since MTF included that factor in its survey. According to the latest MTF data, the rate of past-year marijuana use for 12th graders was 25.7 percent, which is relatively consistent with recent years but at its lowest level since 1992. It was the same case with 10th graders, 15.6 percent of whom used marijuana in the last year. Among 8th grade students, 7.6 percent reported past-year cannabis consumption. For past-month cannabis use, that rate was 17.1 percent for 12th graders, a slight uptick from the prior year but significantly lower than its record high of 37.1 percent in 1978 before any state had legalized cannabis for adult or medical use. For 10th grade students, the rate was 9.4 percent, and for 8th grade it was 4 percent—consistent with recent years. “We are encouraged that adolescent drug use remains relatively low and that so many teens choose not to use drugs at all,” NIDA Director Nora Volkow said in a press release. “It is critical to continue to monitor these trends closely to understand how we can continue to support teens in making healthy choices and target interventions where and when they are needed.” — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year. Patreon supporters pledging at least $25/month get access to our interactive maps, charts and hearing calendar so they don’t miss any developments. Learn more about our marijuana bill tracker and become a supporter on Patreon to get access. — To reform advocates, the results of the survey reinforce the idea that creating a regulatory framework for cannabis where licensed retailers must check IDs and implement other security mechanisms to prevent unlawful diversion is a far more effective policy than prohibition, with illicit suppliers whose products may be untested and where age-gating isn’t a strictly enforced regulation. To that point, a separate federally funded study out of Canada that was released last month found that that youth marijuana use rates actually declined after the country legalized cannabis. The study was released about three months after German officials released a separate report on their country’s experience with legalizing marijuana nationwide. Back in July, federal health data also indicated that while past-year marijuana use in the U.S. overall has climbed in recent years, the rise has been “driven by increases…among adults 26 years or older.” As for younger Americans, rates of both past-year use and cannabis use disorder, by contrast, “remained stable among adolescents and young adults between 2021 and 2024.” Across the U.S., research suggests that marijuana use by young people has generally fallen in states that legalize the drug for adults. A report from the advocacy group Marijuana Policy Project (MPP), for example, found that youth marijuana use declined in 19 out of 21 states that legalized adult-use marijuana—with teen cannabis consumption down an average of 35 percent in the earliest states to legalize. The report cited data from a series of national and state-level youth surveys, including the annual MTF survey. Another survey from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) last year also showed a decline in the proportion of high-school students reporting past-month marijuana use over the past decade, as dozens of states moved to legalize cannabis. At the state level, MPP’s assessment looked at research such as the Washington State Healthy Youth Survey that was released in April 2024. That survey showed declines in both lifetime and past-30-day marijuana use in recent years, with striking drops that held steady through 2023. The results also indicated that perceived ease of access to cannabis among underage students has generally fallen since the state enacted legalization for adults in 2012—contrary to fears repeatedly expressed by opponents of the policy change. In June of last year, meanwhile, the biannual Healthy Kids Colorado Survey found that rates of youth marijuana use in the state declined slightly in 2023—remaining significantly lower than before the state became one of the first in the U.S. to legalize cannabis for adults in 2012. The findings broadly track with other past surveys that have investigated the relationship between jurisdictions that have legalized marijuana and youth cannabis use. For example, a Canadian government report recently found that daily or near-daily use rates by both adults and youth have held steady over the last six years after the country enacted legalization. Another U.S. study reported a “significant decrease” in youth marijuana use from 2011 to 2021—a period in which more than a dozen states legalized marijuana for adults—detailing lower rates of both lifetime and past-month use by high-school students nationwide. Another federal report published last summer concluded that cannabis consumption among minors—defined as people 12 to 20 years of age—fell slightly between 2022 and 2023. Separately, a research letter published by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in April 2024 said there’s no evidence that states’ adoption of laws to legalize and regulate marijuana for adults have led to an increase in youth use of cannabis. Another JAMA-published study earlier that month that similarly found that neither legalization nor the opening of retail stores led to increases in youth cannabis use. In 2023, meanwhile, a U.S. health official said that teen marijuana use has not increased “even as state legalization has proliferated across the country.” Another earlier analysis from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that rates of current and lifetime cannabis use among high school students have continued to drop amid the legalization movement. A separate NIDA-funded study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine in 2022 also found that state-level cannabis legalization was not associated with increased youth use. The study demonstrated that “youth who spent more of their adolescence under legalization were no more or less likely to have used cannabis at age 15 years than adolescents who spent little or no time under legalization.” Yet another 2022 study from Michigan State University researchers, published in the journal PLOS One, found that “cannabis retail sales might be followed by the increased occurrence of cannabis onsets for older adults” in legal states, “but not for underage persons who cannot buy cannabis products in a retail outlet.” The trends were observed despite adult use of marijuana and certain psychedelics reaching “historic highs” in 2022, according to separate 2023 data.

“We really encourage citizens to think about what you’re signing, why you’re signing it, and what it means.” By Emma Davis, Maine Morning Star In downtown Portland, as hundreds of Mainers gathered for an anti-ICE protest Saturday, others were there to gather signatures for a petition to repeal recreational marijuana in Maine. Though, they didn’t present it as such. It’s about the testing of cannabis, one petitioner said. Misrepresentation of this citizen initiative by signature gatherers has been documented across the state over the last few days. On Monday, state legislators asked the overseer of elections, Secretary of State Shenna Bellows (D), what could be done about it. “Petitioners have a First Amendment right to say whatever they want to say,” Bellows said during a meeting of the Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee. Sen. Craig Hickman (D-Kennebec), committee co-chair, chimed in, “You have a right to lie under the First Amendment.” Maine has a citizen-initiated referendum process that allows average people to propose statutes or constitutional amendments to be put on the ballot if they gather enough signatures. Bellows doesn’t have the authority to take any enforcement action over the truth of what is being said about such petitions, only about the validity of what’s in the text, underscoring the legal limits to combatting misinformation. “We really encourage citizens to think about what you’re signing, why you’re signing it, and what it means, and to take the time to read the legislation,” Bellows said. In 2016, Maine voters legalized the recreational use of cannabis. The proposed ballot referendum would do away with the commercial cultivation, sale, purchase and manufacture of cannabis starting in 2028, while still allowing personal use and possession of up to 2.5 ounces. It would also create new testing and tracking requirements on medical cannabis, which the industry has resisted in recent years. It is not uncommon for someone to sign a petition thinking it is about something else. In 2024, for example, a person collecting signatures to try to get an independent candidate on the presidential ballot in Maine instead told people who ended up signing the petition that it was an effort to stop politicians from being able to trade stocks. The signees only later found out the true contents of what they’d signed when a law firm representing others who fell victim to the deceptive practices contacted them. This issue is also not unique to Maine. Nearby Massachusetts has a similar referendum effort underway to recriminalize cannabis in that state, and witnesses there have also accused signature-gatherers of misleading people, such as saying the effort was for affordable housing, reducing impaired driving or protecting youth from being jailed for cannabis. The Massachusetts Secretary of State and Attorney General Office’s issued a joint advisory urging voters to read petitions carefully before signing and to contact local officials if they believe they were deceived. Maine’s Department of the Secretary of State relies on the signature validation process to identify potential violations. For example, the petition paperwork available to signees must include a copy of the actual statutory changes that would be made to the law should the referendum pass. Petitions also can’t be left unattended at a location, such as a campaign placing one by the door of an event and encouraging people to sign it on their way out. Only one person can circulate a given petition and that person has to personally witness each signature, taking an oath before a notary to as much. Expressing frustration with a few bad actors spoiling the referendum process for others, Assistant Senate Majority Leader Jill Duson (D-Cumberland) suggested creating a process to file complaints, though limited department resources and time would present challenges for that to work in practice. Absent enforcement authority, Bellows said she would tell the petition organizers that her department has received a significant number of complaints over the last several days about the activities of their circulators. Ultimately, as Hickman put it, when it comes to regulating this type of malfeasance: “It’s a gentleman’s agreement. It’s an honor system. People have to act as if they’re going to respect the letter of the law. There are bad actors and there are outlaws and there are people that are just going to do what they’re going to do, and there’s nothing any of us can do about it.” This story was first published by Maine Morning Star.

A Republican congressman has introduced a bill that would give the hemp industry two more years before a federal ban on THC products would take effect, which stakeholders hope will better position them to negotiate a broader compromise with lawmakers. After President Donald Trump signed a spending bill last year with provisions that would wipe out a prominent sector of the hemp economy, businesses and advocates were quick to call for at least delaying its implementation. The law is currently set to become effective this November. To that end, Rep. Jim Baird’s (R-IN) new legislation filed on Monday would push that timeline back by another two years, giving hemp interests additional time to make their case that the policy would significantly harm the industry that was legalized during Trump’s first term under the 2018 Farm Bill. The two-page measure simply states that “Section 781 of the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agency Appropriations Act, 2026 is amended, in the matter preceding paragraph (1), by striking ‘365 days’ and inserting ‘3 years.'” “Planting and growing crops requires planning well in advance,” Baird said in a press release. “Congress created a regulatory environment in the 2018 Farm Bill that allowed for certain investments, and farmers were operating within this environment. The hemp provision included in the Continuing Resolution and Appropriations bills passed in November 2025 disrupted planting decisions that had already been made.” “Congress should not have passed such a sweeping policy change that upends a growing industry,” he said. “Instead, Congress should have given farmers more time, creating a more stable environment for farmers to modify their future planting decisions. I am proud to introduce this legislation to ensure farmers have predictability and sufficient time to adjust to new laws that affect their livelihood.” I introduced the Hemp Planting Predictability Act with @RepJamesComer, @RepAngieCraig, @RepTimMooreNC, and @repgabeevans to extend the implementation of new hemp restrictions and ensure farmers have sufficient time to adjust to new laws that affect their livelihood.… — Congressman Jim Baird (@RepJimBaird) January 13, 2026 Baird’s bill has four initial cosponsors: Reps. James Comer (R-KY), Gabe Evans (R-CO), Tim Moore (R-NC) and Angie Craig (D-MN). “This common-sense extension gives farmers and America’s hemp industry the time they need to adapt while Congress works to establish a clear, reasonable regulatory framework,” Comer, who is chair of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, said. Craig, who serves as ranking member on the House Agriculture Committee, said that “recent changes to hemp production and processing regulations pulled the rug out from under Minnesota’s hemp producers, craft brewers, and retailers at a time when too many business owners are already dealing with high prices and uncertainty.” “I’m proud to be introducing this common-sense legislation with my colleague Rep. Baird to fight these ill-thought-out policies and support the farmers and small business owners who make up Minnesota’s $200 million hemp industry,” she said. Several bipartisan lawmakers, including the lead sponsor, protested as the spending legislation with the hemp ban provision advanced through Congress. “American farmers around the country have invested their time and resources over the last six years to develop a domestic supply chain of hemp and hemp products,” Baird said when a version of the proposal was approved in committee in 2024. “Hemp provides a great opportunity for family farm to diversify their farm income by using him as a rotational crop.” If the law were to be passed and ultimately enacted, stakeholders feel that could give them enough time to convey to Congress that, rather than an outright ban on most consumable hemp products, lawmakers could address their concerns about youth access and quality control for intoxicating cannabinoids through a more targeted regulatory approach that includes age-gating and testing requirements, for example. “This two-year extension gives farmers the certainty they need to make planting decisions with confidence,” Justin Swanson, president of Midwest Hemp Council, said in a press release. “Congressman Baird understands that hemp farmers cannot operate in an environment of constant uncertainty.” Baird will also be joined by Comer and members of the hemp community for an event on Thursday, organized by the U.S. Hemp Roundtable, to discuss the potential consequences of implementing the cannabinoid ban. For what it’s worth, four in five marijuana consumers say they oppose the recriminalization of hemp THC products under the spending bill Trump signed in November. However, it should be noted that that poll was conducted weeks before he issued a cannabis rescheduling order and took steps to protect access to full-spectrum CBD. Trump signed an executive order last month directing the attorney general to complete the process of moving marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Part of that announcement also hold implications for the forthcoming hemp law. The president’s order also urged Congress to examine updating the definition of hemp to ensure that full-spectrum CBD is accessible to patients. A further redefinition of hemp would be part of a novel proposal to allow Medicare recipients to access non-intoxicating CBD that’d be covered under the federal health care plan. To effectuate that, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will be announcing “a model that will allow a number of CMS beneficiaries to benefit from receiving CBD under doctor recommendation at no cost,” a White House official said during a briefing that Marijuana Moment first reported leaked details from ahead of the signing event. Trump seemed endorse a more flexible CBD policy last summer when he shared a video calling for that specific reform while promoting the health benefits of cannabidiol, particularly for seniors. Meanwhile, a separate recently filed Republican-led congressional bill would stop the implementation of the hemp ban under the enacted appropriations legislation. Hemp businesses and industry groups have warned about the potential ramifications of the ban, but despite his support for states’ rights for cannabis and a recent social media post touting the benefits of CBD, Trump signed the underlying spending measure into law without acknowledging the hemp provisions. GOP political operative Roger Stone said recently that Trump was effectively “forced” by Republican lawmakers to sign the spending bill with the hemp THC ban language. However, a White House spokesperson said prior to the bill signing that Trump specifically supported the prohibition language. The Democratic governor of Kentucky said that the hemp industry is an “important” part of the economy that deserves to be regulated at the state level—rather than federally prohibited, as Congress has moved to do. Also, a leading veterans organization is warning congressional leaders that the newly approved blanket ban on consumable hemp products could inadvertently “slam the door shut” on critical research. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

The new legislation specifies that, within one year of enactment, the weight will apply to total THC—including delta-8 and other isomers. It will also include “any other cannabinoids that have similar effects (or are marketed to have similar effects) on humans or animals as a tetrahydrocannabinol (as determined by the Secretary of Health and Human Services).” The new definition of legal hemp will additionally ban “any intermediate hemp-derived cannabinoid products which are marketed or sold as a final product or directly to an end consumer for personal or household use” as well as products containing cannabinoids that are synthesized or manufactured outside of the cannabis plant or not capable of being naturally produced by it. Legal hemp products will be limited to a total of 0.4 milligrams per container of total THC or any other cannabinoids with similar effects. Within 90 days of the bill’s enactment, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other agencies will need to publish list of “all cannabinoids known to FDA to be capable of being naturally produced by a Cannabis sativa L. plant, as reflected in peer reviewed literature,” “all tetrahydrocannabinol class cannabinoids known to the agency to be naturally occurring in the plant” and “all other known cannabinoids with similar effects to, or marketed to have similar effects to, tetrahyrocannabinol class cannabinoids.” The language slightly differs from provisions included in legislation that had previously advanced out of the House and Senate Appropriations panels, which would have banned products containing any “quantifiable” amount of THC, to be determined by the HHS secretary and secretary of agriculture.
