The 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:Â A strict cap of 0.4mg total THC per container (not serving) applies.
- Broad Ban:Â Synthetics and intermediate products sold to consumers are prohibited.
- One-Year Window:Â The ban takes effect one year after enactment, giving the industry time to lobby.
- Industry Impact:Â Over 95% of current hemp products could be eliminated.
