Democratic Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley of Oregon have introduced a pivotal piece of legislation aimed at creating a federal regulatory framework for hemp-derived cannabinoids. The Cannabinoid Safety and Regulation Act offers an alternative to the impending federal ban on many consumable hemp products, including CBD and delta-8 THC, which was part of a spending bill signed by President Donald Trump last month.
Read moreFor tenants in Wisconsin, the question of whether they can legally smoke hemp or cannabis products on their rental property is becoming increasingly complex. While the state has clear restrictions on tobacco smoking in public spaces, regulations surrounding hemp and cannabis are far less defined, creating a potential gray area for renters and landlords alike.
Read morePortugal’s Tax and Customs Authority (AT) has officially prohibited the sale of tobacco products containing cannabis extracts, including CBD and THC, restricting their commercialization strictly to authorized medicinal channels.

Read moreUnless Congress intervenes, the burgeoning U.S. market for psychoactive hemp products will face a federal prohibition starting November 13, 2026.

Read moreThe new federal spending bill signed by President Trump sets a one-year countdown to recriminalize most hemp-derived products. By November 2026, products exceeding 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container—including many CBD oils, gummies, and vapes—will be classified as illegal marijuana, effectively banning the current consumable hemp market unless Congress intervenes.
Key Takeaways:
- Total THC Limit: A strict cap of 0.4mg total THC per container (not serving) applies.
- Broad Ban: Synthetics and intermediate products sold to consumers are prohibited.
- One-Year Window: The ban takes effect one year after enactment, giving the industry time to lobby.
- Industry Impact: Over 95% of current hemp products could be eliminated.
In the expansive world of modern wellness, cannabidiol, or CBD, has been widely embraced as a natural, non-intoxicating panacea for a host of ailments. Infused into everything from gummy candies and fizzy seltzers to skincare serums and vapes, CBD is often pitched as a gentle, calming remedy with none of the stigma or psychoactive effects of its cousin, THC. The 2018 Farm Bill, which federally legalized hemp, opened the floodgates, and a multi-billion dollar industry was born. Even a 2018 World Health Organization report noted that CBD shows no signs of abuse or dependence potential in humans. For many, especially parents of anxious teens, this narrative is comforting. But as a physician and neuroscientist studying how CBD affects the developing brain, I must offer a different, more troubling perspective: we simply don’t know if it’s safe for adolescents, and emerging evidence suggests the potential for real, lasting harm.
