Show Notes
A new federal rule threatens to disrupt the hemp industry, particularly in North Carolina, by capping total THC and restricting lab-made cannabinoids. The change, part of a government funding bill, redefines hemp based on all THC forms, not just delta-nine. It takes effect in November 2026, but lawmakers are pushing for a two-year delay. The rule could wipe out most products, force closures, and shift business to the unregulated black market. Industry folks advocate for practical fixes like age checks, clear labels, and lab testing for safety and consumer preference.
