Hemp Watch: Bans, Bills & Court Moves
🌿 Hemp Watch: Bans, Bills & Court Moves
Federal and state hemp rules are tightening fast. Congress is debating a new Farm Bill that could redefine hemp by total THC, potentially ending the Delta-8 loophole.
Ohio has temporarily banned intoxicating hemp products, Tennessee will enforce stricter THCA limits in 2026, and California plans to make its hemp-THC ban permanent. Texas narrowly avoided a ban after a veto, but lawmakers are pushing again.
Courts have upheld bans in Arkansas and Virginia, confirming states can restrict intoxicating hemp — though AK Futures still protects Delta-8 in some regions.
⚖️ Expect tighter rules, more bans, and continued legal battles shaping hemp’s future.
