What happens when the alcohol industry turns on itself — and hemp becomes the reason why?In this episode of TDR Cannabis in Five, presented by Dutchie, host Shadd Dales breaks down a growing fight in Washington, D.C., where beer, wine, and spirits distributors are urging Congress not to ban hemp-derived THC products, even as many of the producers they represent — the companies that actually make alcohol — are lobbying for the opposite.The tension comes as Congress debates updates to the 2018 Farm Bill, which legalized hemp but left wide loopholes that allowed intoxicating cannabinoids like Delta-8 and Delta-10 to hit store shelves. Now, with sales of hemp-infused beverages soaring and alcohol consumption falling, distributors see hemp drinks as a new revenue stream, while producers see them as a threat.Shadd walks through the numbers, the political stakes, and what this split means for the future of both industries — and for consumers caught between regulation and prohibition.Plus, a quick update from Dutchie, which is gearing up to launch a brand-new retail tech product that will change how dispensaries manage online sales, inventory, and customer engagement.
