- A House Appropriations subcommittee chaired by Rep. Andy Harris advanced a fiscal year 2026 spending bill on June 5, 2025, that redefines hemp under federal law in the U.S.
- The bill aims to close the 2018 Farm Bill hemp loophole that allowed unregulated intoxicating products like delta-8 THC and hemp flower to be sold nationwide.
- The bill would prohibit hemp-derived products that have any measurable levels of THC or other cannabinoids with comparable intoxicating properties, affecting many commonly used full-spectrum CBD oils and extracts.
- Kevin Sabet of SAM called the bill a "crucial victory" to protect children from THC products, while hemp industry leaders like Jonathan Miller warned it could "destroy" the market and jobs.
- If enacted, the legislation would impose the most significant federal restrictions on hemp products since 2018, potentially undermining the legal CBD industry and its billions in economic activity.
