US EditionLouisville Hemp Company Fights Federal Law that Would Ban All Its Products
The new federal cap aims to curb unregulated intoxicating hemp products while allowing non-intoxicating CBD; some businesses produce up to 400 cases monthly, industry leaders say.
- Last week, the federal spending bill signed by President Donald Trump included a provision that will ban most intoxicating hemp-derived products, potentially devastating the hemp industry nationwide.
- Supporters argued the change addresses public-safety gaps such as unregulated sales of intoxicating hemp products like Delta-8, while preserving non-intoxicating CBD and industrial hemp, a Senate Appropriations Committee summary said.
- The provision caps THC per container at 0.4 milligrams, while Minnesota limits no more than 5 milligrams per serving and the 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp with 0.3% THC.
- Moorhead businesses such as Junkyard Brewing Company are already bracing as the ban takes effect next year, raising concerns about licenses, banking, insurance, and production.
- Companies are pushing for regulatory standards instead of prohibition as Cornbread Hemp co-founder lobbied lawmakers, focusing on U.S. Rep. Brett Guthrie; Unwind pursues a state recreational license.
