Federal limit on intoxicating hemp-derived THC products takes effect
The November 2025 appropriations law redefined hemp to exclude products above 0.4 mg total THC per container, effective one year after enactment (November 12, 2026). On August 8, 2026 the Senate passed a continuing resolution that would push the effective date to December 11, 2026; the House stopgap did not include the delay. Watch this row — the date may move.
