Is the billion-dollar hemp industry about to be wiped out? A new federal funding bill—tucked inside Congress’s effort to prevent a government shutdown—includes language that would ban all intoxicating hemp products nationwide. From Delta-8 to THC-P and even full-spectrum CBD, everything could disappear from shelves within a year if this passes.TDR Cannabis in Five, presented by Dutchie, breaks down exactly what’s in the FY2026 Agriculture-FDA Appropriations Bill and why this crackdown has been years in the making. Senator Mitch McConnell and Representative Andy Harris are leading the charge, arguing the hemp market has drifted too far from its original intent. With bipartisan backing and growing concern from law enforcement and licensed cannabis operators, this may be the most significant regulatory shift since the 2018 Farm Bill itself.In today’s episode, Shadd Dales walks through:• What the new definition of hemp really means• The one-year wind-down period before the ban takes effect• How this impacts consumers, investors, and hemp-THC brands• Why the government is drawing a hard line between cannabis and hemp moving forwardThe bigger question: what does a post-ban world look like? For regulated cannabis operators, it could mean fewer competitors and a cleaner marketplace. For hemp brands, it could mean an existential countdown.We’ll continue tracking every update as Congress moves toward a final vote.#CannabisNews #HempBan #Delta8 #CannabisPolicy #MarijuanaReform #HempIndustry #CannabisStocks #MitchMcConnell #THCP #DutchieWant to see last week's recap? • Cannabis Earnings Week: Winners and Red Fl...
