⭐ Video Summary:
A major shift is coming to the hemp and cannabis industry. President Trump has signed a new bill that will make many popular THC gummies, vapes, drinks, and other hemp-derived intoxicating products illegal starting next year.
These products grew popular because of a loophole in the 2018 Farm Bill, which legalized hemp cultivation. Although hemp naturally contains low THC and high CBD, manufacturers found a chemical method to convert CBD into intoxicating THC variants like delta-8, delta-10, THCA, and others. These unregulated products were then sold nationwide—even in states where marijuana itself is illegal.
Supporters of the new bill say it closes a dangerous loophole and limits access to unregulated intoxicants often sold to minors. The law sets strict limits on how hemp-derived compounds can be used, and bans all products with THC above a specific threshold.
Opponents argue the regulations are so restrictive they could destroy the $30 billion hemp industry, put 300,000 people out of work, and even harm non-intoxicating CBD markets. They also highlight that the bill passed after a fierce lobbying battle between hemp farmers and the marijuana and alcohol industries, who want to eliminate hemp-based competition.
Opponents plan to fight back over the next year before the regulations fully take effect.
