Congress Recriminalizes THC, CBD Products

Congress ended the government shutdown with a last-minute deal that reinstates the federal ban on certain THC and CBD products, causing significant disruption in the cannabis industry. This decision, which affects hemp-derived products such as gummies and drinks, follows delays caused by Sen. Rand Paul's objections. Industry stakeholders are now facing the implications of these regulatory changes, which could reshape market dynamics and affect consumers nationwide as the ban goes into effect.
