The House Agriculture Committee has approved an amendment to the Farm Bill that would impose a wide-scale ban on hemp-derived cannabinoids, such as delta-8 THC. This amendment, if passed through a polarized House and divided Congress, could federally criminalize many CBD products and end America's brief experiment with nationally legal cannabis. The ban would significantly impact the $28 billion cannabis industry, with businesses fearing the collapse of the market. In Illinois, a new law starting in July will ban the sale of any hemp-derived THC, including delta-8, except at state-licensed cannabis dispensaries, affecting local hemp beverage brewers. A coalition of 22 state attorneys general argued that the 2018 law allowing cannabis cultivation created a massive gray market and urged its shutdown. Rep. Miller expressed pride in the amendment.
