US EditionHemp Industry Plans Next Move After Trump Signs THC Ban
The federal ban closes a Farm Bill loophole, affecting over 300 Nebraska hemp shops and complicating Ohio's hemp product regulations with a one-year delayed enforcement.
- On Nov. 12, President Donald Trump signed a federal spending bill that included a provision banning most hemp-derived THC products nationwide.
- The provision targets a loophole in the 2018 Farm Bill that supporters said enabled a booming intoxicating hemp market, with dozens of attorneys general warning of its exploitation last month.
