What to know when the ban on most US hemp products goes into effect - Nov 2026

Ban set to be enforced in November 2026 will change pricing, availability and composition of products.

Congress voted to ban most hemp-derived products last month in a last-minute addition to the spending bill that ended the government shutdown. The ban, set to be enforced in November 2026, will change the pricing, availability and composition of some of the most popular hemp derived products on the market, like CBD tinctures and balms and THC drinks.

Here’s what you need to know... See Link for full article

For states that have passed their own hemp regulations, like Minnesota, Kentucky and Louisiana, Maine, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Iowa, New Mexico, Tennessee, New York and Illinois, Miller believes those markets will continue to exist but in a much more limited form.

“The problem is there’ll be no more interstate commerce,” Miller said, meaning it’ll no longer be possible to ship hemp products from one state to another, and online sales will be much more restricted.

I give my 15 year old dog hemp oil for arthritis, she is on meds, but our vet likes to also use natural things to keep the med dosage lower. I feel like my sweet Layla's health is a target, I know that's stupid, but I take things that can hurt my animal companions seriously. Republicans taking rights away every day.
