Federal Crackdown On Hemp-Derived THC, Cannabinoids Advances In Congress, Industry Warns Of Collapse
By Javier Hasse, Benzinga
A key House committee has advanced a federal spending bill that could effectively ban most hemp-derived cannabinoid products, including THCA flower, delta-8 THC and even full-spectrum CBD, by redefining hemp and limiting its legal uses.
As reported by Marijuana Moment, the measure was approved Thursday in a 9-7 vote by the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies, with support from Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), the subcommittee chair. It now moves to the full House Appropriations Committee for markup on June 11.
