A bipartisan group of senators is pushing to 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. Now, Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Rand Paul (R-KY) and Jeff Merkley (D-OR) have filed new legislation that 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 measure, titled the Hemp Planting Predictability Act, simply states that “Section 781 of the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agency Appropriations Act, 2026 (7 U.S.C. 1639o note; Public Law 119–37), is amended, in the matter preceding paragraph (1), by striking ‘365 days’ and inserting ‘3 years.’ Rep. Jim Baird (R-IN) and bipartisan cosponsors filed similar legislation to delay the hemp ban in the House earlier this week. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), who is cosponsoring that proposal, appeared at a press conference on Thursday alongside farmers who are concerned about the looming federal hemp ban’s impact on their businesses. 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.

“Now it’s time for us to ensure the safety of our kids, regardless of what Congress did or will be doing in the future.” By Rebecca Rivas, Missouri Independent Missouri lawmakers debated two bills this week that would align the state with the federal limits on intoxicating hemp products set to go into effect in November. Both Missouri bills would prohibit hemp products from containing more than 0.4 milligrams of THC per container, which is among the limits included in a provision in the federal spending bill Congress approved last year. They both would regulate intoxicating hemp the same as marijuana, which would essentially ban current hemp products because marijuana must be grown in Missouri and most hemp is grown outside of the state. They would also require hemp products to be sold in licensed cannabis dispensaries, where most are currently sold in gas stations, liquor stores, restaurants and smoke shops. State officials estimated in 2024 that 40,000 food establishments and smoke shops and 1,800 food manufacturers were selling products that would be banned under the proposed federal regulations. It includes low-dose THC seltzers, such as Mighty Kind and Triple, that have increased in popularity at liquor stores and bars. While business owners selling these products oppose the federal ban, some said they’re putting their support behind a proposal by Republican state Rep. Dave Hinman of O’Fallon because it would allow Missouri to sell the products if Congress changes its mind in the future. A House committee discussed Hinman’s legislation Tuesday, making it one of the first bills to get a public hearing during the new legislative session that began last week. “The bottom line for us is, if it’s authorized and it’s lawful under federal law, we should be able to sell it here in Missouri, just like all the other 49 states will be able to sell it,” said Ron Leon, executive director of the Missouri Petroleum and Convenience Association, which represents gas stations and convenience stores, during the hearing Tuesday evening. The other bill, proposed by Republican state Sen. David Gregory of Chesterfield, does not include this provision. Another difference in Gregory’s bill is that it includes an emergency clause, meaning it would be enacted as soon as lawmakers approve it and the governor signs it. “Now it’s time for us to ensure the safety of our kids, regardless of what Congress did or will be doing in the future,” Gregory said during the Senate committee hearing Wednesday morning. “And we need to prohibit intoxicating cannabis from being sold anywhere except for the way our voters designed it and requested it be sold. And that’s exactly what this bill seeks to do.” The Missouri Cannabis Trade Association, which represents marijuana businesses, has put its support behind both bills. The Missouri Hemp Trade Association, which represents a number of hemp businesses, spoke in opposition to Gregory’s bill but was neutral on Hinman’s bill. This will be the fourth year in a row that Missouri lawmakers have attempted to regulate intoxicating hemp products, with previous debates ending in stalemates. However, Hinman said this is a priority for the state’s leadership. “I met with [Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway] last week, and she thinks this needs to be a priority,” Hinman told The Independent. “I believe the governor is the same and the speaker [of the House] is the same, so I think it’s going to move pretty quick.” The Law Enforcement Legislative Coalition, which represents police chiefs across Missouri, is supporting both bills. Lake Saint Louis Police Department Chief Chris DiGiuseppi emphasized at both the Senate and House committee hearings this week that the federal provision does not give local police authority to enforce the ban, which is why the state bills are necessary. “In order to enforce federal law, we’d have to go to a federal law enforcement agency,” DiGiuseppi told the state Senate committee members Wednesday. “We would have to get others involved. We can only enforce state statute. That’s what we’re empowered to do.” State Sen. Nick Schroer, a Republican from Defiance, asked DiGiuseppi how difficult it would be to enforce the federal ban if Missouri lawmakers fail to pass regulations again this year. “It would be much more difficult,” DiGiuseppi said. “It’s always easier to try to take care of that in house…so we appreciate all the help we can get.” Kathi Harness, a lobbyist for the Missouri Beer Wholesalers Association, opposed both bills during hearings this week. She argued that state lawmakers should consider conversations that are happening at the national level. Earlier this week, a U.S. House bill was filed to delay the implementation of the federal ban until 2028. The association is supporting separate legislation to allow the sale of intoxicating hemp beverages to continue, contingent on what happens at the federal level. “I believe, as do many people…that what they will do is they will give it back to the states to regulate,” Harness said. “The federal government doesn’t regulate alcohol at the federal level. Alcohol is regulated at the state level, and I think there’s a very good chance that that’s how it will go if, in fact, the federal government decides to allow this product.” This story was first published by Missouri Independent.

New Jersey lawmakers have filed two new bills that would legalize home cultivation of marijuana in the so-called “Garden State.” One of the measures would allow only medical cannabis patients to cultivate the plant, while the other would cover recreational consumers as well. Both pieces of legislation are led by Sens. Troy Singleton (D) and Vin Gopal (D), along with additional cosponsors. The broader measure, S2564, would allow adults aged 21 and over to grow up to six marijuana plants for personal recreational use, with a maximum of 12 plants per household containing multiple adults. Medical cannabis patients and their designated caregivers, meanwhile, could grow up to 10 plants per person while also having the same 12-plant limit for a household. The bill has been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. The other new proposal, which is focused only on medical cannabis, would allow patients and their designated caregivers to grow up to four mature and four immature marijuana plants. Unlike the broader bill, S1578 would require patients to notify regulators of their intent to cultivate medical cannabis at home. It also sets out rules and timelines for how they may designate and change caregivers who can grow on their behalf. “It is the sponsor’s intent to expand access to medical cannabis for registered qualifying patients who may find the medical cannabis that is available through a medical cannabis dispensary unaffordable, or who may otherwise benefit from the convenience of home cultivation or the ability to readily access medical cannabis in the strain and form appropriate to the patient’s individual treatment needs,” the bill says. Marijuana reform advocates have long pushed for lawmakers to add home grow option for consumers, especially medical patients, but they have faced resistance from legislative leaders and from Gov. Phil Murphy (D), who is set to leave office this month. Murphy has said he’s open to the idea but has argued on multiple occasions that the state’s adult-use marijuana market needs to further mature before home grow is authorized. Incoming Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill (D) stated her support for legalizing marijuana home cultivation along with “common-sense regulations, safeguards and limits” during last year’s gubernatorial campaign. Meanwhile, New Jersey’s Senate president has filed a bill that would allow marijuana companies to engage in interstate commerce, subject to certain limitations and triggers. Lawmakers this week also sent the governor a bill to create a psilocybin therapy pilot program and allocate $6 million in funding to support the effort. 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.” State 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.

If the Department of Justice finishes the process of rescheduling marijuana as recently directed by President Donald Trump, the federal change could boost efforts to legalize medical cannabis at the state level in South Carolina, according to a GOP lawmaker. “I do think that there is going to be a change in mentality among some of those who have opposed this in the past,” Sen. Tom Davis (R) said in an interview with WSAV-TV that was published on Thursday. “We’ve always had some legislators that were still concerned by the fact that it was characterized by the federal government as a Schedule I drug. Along with heroin and things of that nature, as a drug for which there is no medicinal use whatsoever,” he said. “I mean, that’s clearly not the case. That’s clearly false. Even the American Medical Association recognizes that now.” Davis for years has sponsored legislation to legalize medical marijuana in South Carolina that has in some sessions passed the Senate but continually stalled in the House of Representatives. The Republican lawmaker said he would be willing to include a provision in his legislation this session to make it so it wouldn’t take effect until federal rescheduling is completed. “Doctors want to authorize patients who want to use cannabis for certain conditions,” Davis said. “They don’t want to use opioids, they don’t want to use drugs that have that much greater side effects and much greater health risks.” The senator described his legislation as “extremely conservative.” “It requires a doctor to diagnose and a doctor to authorize the use of the cannabis,” he said. “Very strict controls in regard to how the manufacturer of a marijuana medicine is done, the labeling requirements so that people know what they’re getting, and a requirement that it be dispensed to patients by pharmacists.” “We’ve got a very good state mechanism set up where doctors diagnose, doctors authorize the use. Certain medical conditions have to be documented, and pharmacies have to dispense it. We’ve got a very detailed system of tracking the cannabis as it goes through the manufacturing process, a very good system in place.” Davis believes his legislation provides a model for other states to follow. “I’m about empowering doctors, empowering patients in a way that is respectful of public safety, mindful of public safety, proper labeling,” he said. “Something that South Carolina can be proud of, and that other states that want to legalize it solely for medical use can look at this law as a template.” Gov. Henry McMaster (R) said last year that there’s a “compelling” case to be made for legalizing medical marijuana in South Carolina, despite the fact that “law enforcement, almost end-to-end, still have grave concerns.” Davis’s pending bill for the 2025-2o26 session, as introduced, would allow patients to access medical marijuana from “therapeutic cannabis pharmacies,” which would be licensed by the state Board of Pharmacy. Individuals would need to receive a doctor’s recommendation for the treatment of certain qualifying conditions, which include several specific ailments as well as terminal illnesses and chronic diseases where opioids are the standard of care. Among the public, medical marijuana legalization enjoys overwhelming bipartisan support in the state, with a poll last year finding that 93 percent of Democrats, 74 percent of Republicans and 84 percent of independents back the reform. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

After Davis’s Senate-passed medical cannabis bill was blocked in the House in 2022, he tried another avenue for the reform proposal, but that similarly failed on procedural grounds. The lawmaker has called the stance of his own party, particularly as it concerns medical marijuana, “an intellectually lazy position that doesn’t even try to present medical facts as they currently exist.” The post Trump’s Marijuana Rescheduling Move Could Boost South Carolina Medical Cannabis Bill, GOP Lawmaker Says appeared first on Marijuana Moment.

The Senate has given final approval to a spending bill that would continue protecting state medical marijuana programs from federal intervention—while excluding a provision that previously advanced to block the Justice Department from rescheduling cannabis. About a week after the appropriations legislation was negotiated on a bicameral basis and advanced through the House, the opposite chamber voted 82-15 on Thursday to send it to President Donald Trump’s desk. Advocates and industry stakeholders were encouraged to see the rescheduling language stripped from the final deal after it had been approved by the House Appropriations Committee last year, as well as the preservation of a longstanding rider preventing DOJ from using its funds to interfere in state medical marijuana laws. Two GOP senators filed an amendment to add the cannabis rescheduling restrictions back in this week, but it was not considered on the floor. The bill that’s heading to Trump is part of a package that covers Fiscal Year 2026 spending for Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies (CJS), Interior, Environment and Energy and Water Development. The move comes weeks after the president issued an executive order directing Attorney General Pam Bondi to expeditiously complete the process of moving marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Here’s the language of the provision advanced by the House but excluded from the final bill: “SEC. 607. None of the funds appropriated or other wise made available by this Act may be used to reschedule marijuana (as such term is defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802)) or to remove marijuana from the schedules established under section 202 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 812).” GOP senators have separately tried to block the administration from rescheduling cannabis as part of a standalone bill filed in 2023, but that proposal did not receive a hearing or vote. Meanwhile, last week, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) said a marijuana rescheduling appeal process “remains pending” despite Trump’s executive order. The package also contains a rider that’s been annually renewed since 2014 barring the Justice Department from using its funds to interfere in the implementation of state medical marijuana laws. However, for reasons that are unclear, the rider that lists each state that would be protected excludes Nebraska. Here’s the text of that provision: “SEC. 531. None of the funds made available under this Act to the Department of Justice may be used, with respect to any of the States of Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, or with respect to the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the United States Virgin Islands, Guam, or Puerto Rico, to prevent any of them from implementing their own laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession, or cultivation of medical marijuana.” Missing from the final version is an addition to the anti-rescheduling rider the House previously included that would have authorized enhanced penalties for sales near schools and parks. That provision specifically stipulated that the Justice Department could still enforce a section of U.S. code that calls for increased penalties for distributing cannabis within 1,000 feet of an elementary school, vocational school, college, playground or public housing unit. However, a joint explanatory statement for the spending package also says Congress “directs the Department to appropriately enforce the Federal Drug-Free School Zones Act (2 1 U.S.C. 860), to ensure that areas with young children, including schools and playgrounds remain drug-free.” That appears to be related to a report from the Senate committee that was released last year stating that the medical marijuana protection rider “does not explicitly preclude” U.S. attorneys from enforcing a federal statute on selling or manufacturing controlled substances in “areas with young children, including schools and playgrounds.” The bill also maintains protections for state industrial hemp research programs under the 2014 Farm Bill: “SEC. 530. None of the funds made available by this Act may be used in contravention of section 7606 (‘Legitimacy of Industrial Hemp Research’) of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (Public Law 113–79) by the Department of Justice or the Drug Enforcement Administration.” Advocates may welcome the exclusion of the rescheduling provision and inclusion of medical marijuana protections in the CJS bill, but many cannabis stakeholders have protested Trump’s signing of a separate appropriations measure in November that includes provisions to ban most consumable hemp products. However, when the president issued the marijuana rescheduling order last month, he also directed Congress to reevaluate that policy and ensure that people can continue to access full-spectrum CBD products. A federal agency will also be moving to cover such products for certain patients under Medicare and Medicaid. Photo courtesy of Mike Latimer.

A Virginia lawmaker has filed a bill that would legalize and regulate recreational marijuana sales while also increasing the amount of cannabis that adults can possess under the state’s current noncommercial legalization law. The new legislation from Del. Paul Krizek (D) is largely in line with recommendations released last month by the legislature’s Joint Commission to Oversee the Transition of the Commonwealth into a Cannabis Retail Market, which the lawmaker chaired. Since legalizing cannabis possession and home cultivation in 2021, Virginia lawmakers have worked to establish a commercial marijuana market—only to have those efforts consistently stalled under outgoing Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), who twice vetoed measures to enact it that were sent to his desk by the legislature. Incoming Gov.-elect Abigail Spanberger (D) supports legalizing adult-use marijuana sales, however. “A consumer should always know what they are buying, and so that means strong labeling,” she said in an interview last month. “That means understanding the strength… If you go and you buy a pack of beer, you know what percentage alcohol that beer is, you know what proof a liquor is, so you have an understanding of what it is that you’re actually purchasing. I think that is extraordinarily important with all marijuana-related products.” Krizek’s new bill, in addition to establishing a system of licensed and regulated businesses to cultivate, process, test and sell cannabis would also increase the amount of marijuana that adults over 21 years of age can legally possess from one ounce to 2.5 ounces. They could also continue to grow up to four cannabis plants at home for personal use. Here are the key details of the new Virginia marijuana bill: Retail sales could begin on November 1, 2026. Adults would be able to purchase up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana in a single transaction, or up to an equivalent amount of other cannabis products as determined by regulators. The Virginia Cannabis Control Authority would oversee licensing and regulation of the new industry. Its board of directors would have the authority to control possession, sale, transportation, distribution, delivery and testing of marijuana. A tax of up to 11.625 percent would apply to the retail sale of any cannabis product. That would include a state retail and use tax of 1.125 percent on top of a new marijuana-specific tax of 8 percent. Local governments could levy an additional 3.5 percent. Tax revenue would be split between the costs of administering and enforcing the state’s marijuana system, a new Cannabis Equity Reinvestment Fund, pre-kindergarten programs, substance use disorder prevention and treatment programs and public health programs such as awareness campaigns designed to prevent drug-impaired driving and discourage underage consumption. Local governments could not opt out of allowing marijuana businesses to operate in their area. Delivery services would be allowed. Serving sizes would be capped at 10 milligrams THC, with no more than 100 mg THC per package. Existing medical cannabis operators could enter the adult-use market if they pay a $10 million licensing conversion fee. Cannabis businesses would have to establish labor peace agreements with workers. A legislative commission would be directed to study adding on-site consumption licenses and microbusiness cannabis event permits that would allow licensees to conduct sales at venues like farmers markets or pop-up locations. It would also investigate the possibility of the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority becoming involved in marijuana regulations and enforcement. Meanwhile, Virginia lawmakers have filed other marijuana-related legislation for the 2026 session, including proposals to provide resentencing relief for people convicted of past cannabis crimes and to let terminally ill patients use medical marijuana in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Separately, the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry recently published a new outlining workplace protections for cannabis consumers.

The Republican chair of a key congressional committee is joining with farmers to push for a delay in the planned enactment of a federal law that threatens to recriminalize hemp-derived THC products. “The hemp industry is facing significant challenges and growing uncertainty, and is long past time for Congress to provide farmers and business owners with the clarity they need to succeed,” House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said at a press conference on Thursday. “This uncertainty is not abstract. It’s impacting real people, real jobs and real communities all across our country—particularly in rural America.” Comer is calling on colleagues to pass a new bill that was filed in the House this week, the Hemp Planting Predictability Act, that would push back by two years the implementation of legislation President Donald Trump signed last year to reverse the federal legalization of most hemp-derived products that he had approved during his first term in 2018. The renewed ban is currently set to take effect this November. “The crisis that are facing everyone in this room that’s involved in hemp, it’s not a crisis of supply and demand. It’s not a crisis of a trade dispute or terrorists or anything like that. The Senate passed language that was no debate or no discussion that…has the potential to impact hemp in a fatal way.” “The hemp industry’s impact on my home state of Kentucky and nationwide is substantial,” the chairman said. “Hemp supports 320,000 American jobs, generates $28.4 billion in market activity and contributes $1.5 billion in state tax revenue.” If the delay bill were to be enacted, Comer and other stakeholders feel it could give them enough time to convince a majority in Congress that, rather than an outright ban on most consumable hemp products, lawmakers could address concerns about youth access and quality control for intoxicating cannabinoids through a more targeted regulatory approach that includes age-gating and testing requirements. “We’ve got to set up a regulatory framework, and you could stop the wild west out there. And it’s not the growers; fault, it’s not the processors’ fault. People in this room are doing it right,” he told assembled hemp industry participants on Thursday. “But there are some people in America that aren’t doing it right. There are people that are importing counterfeit CBD products from China. There are people that are selling products that aren’t what they say on the label.” “Nobody’s spot checking the labels. That’s what the [Food and Drug Administration] is supposed to do.” Comer said that “nearly every farmer I know who grew hemp last year was a former tobacco farmer.” To that point, Brian Furnish, an eighth-generation farmer from Kentucky who said his family has grown tobacco since the 1700s, spoke about the challenges he and others face in light of uncertainty over federal policy. “If we don’t get a two-year extension, as a farmer I can’t sell my current inventory that I harvested legally and planted legally in 2025. As of right now, [my crop] has lost over $600,000 in price in the last six weeks,” he said. “Our buyers are also telling us that we can’t ship any more biomass to them until they move their inventory. And so it’s a ripple effect through the whole industry, from the people who make the retail product all the way back to the farmer.” Ken Meyer, a farmer from South Dakota, said hemp is a valuable part of his operations. “Farmers grow hemp and rotation with corn and soybeans. It provides another income on the farm, and a valuable one, and it improves their soil,” he said. “Farmers are hurting right now. It is difficult to sell soybeans. Corn prices are low. It is not a time to ban a crop that is so important to the farmers of America.” Abram Phillips, another Kentucky farmer, similarly said that hemp is an “alternative crop that has a higher value that’s good for the soil” and is “an alternative to other extensive and heavier requirement crops.” Comer called on his colleagues to “act swiftly to pass legislation that protects jobs, eliminates bad actors standardizes labeling and requires third party testing.” “These steps are essential to providing certainty for business owners and confidence for consumers,” he said. “Today, American farmers are facing serious, a lot of challenges for farmers all across America, the last thing they need is inaction from Washington that puts a growing, multi-billion dollar industry at risk.” The lawmaker said that if the bill to delay the hemp ban by two years can pass the House, he is “confident we can get it through the Senate.” “I urge both Republicans and Democrats to come together to support this common sense legislation,” he said. “I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues in Congress and industry stakeholders to get this bill to the president’s desk as quickly as possible.” A recent poll shows that 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 newly enacted 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.
